If I can get on my soapbox for a second (and let me know if this isn't cool - I just like pointing people towards more effective products), I'd like to call attention to http://www.lookwork.com , which was designed and developed by Ben & Eric of Svpply fame quite a few years ago using the jQuery Masonry that people seem to think is Pinterest's bread and butter. You can follow friends, tag images, add your own feeds a…

My favorite image bookmarking site today is designspiration. Different strokes. The deck shows the direction we're going. Anyone will be able to create any stream. So, you'll be able to aggregate all of the quality images you want :)

But users don't want to do that legwork. I'm way more apt to use a product that, from the get-go, gives me what I want and then allows me to expand on that.

Designspiration thumbnails those images so small, it's impossible to just browse and tag without needing to click into it. That's my main complaint with most if not all of these services; I shouldn't have to click to see it in its full glory, and often times, the details get lost at that size and certain works are inherently at a disadvantage of being seen because of it.

Is Pinterest using Masonry? It's not listed on the Masonry site as a reference. Why does it cost 5$?

Always when I see such exceptional HTML based pitch decks (the last one was from a wedding thing, don't know the name anymore) I am on the fence: They look so damn good and for sure you get attention en masse (today you should get 20K from HN and many VC related people). BUT: - Isn't this a hell of work? A good JS/frontend guy should need at least one or rather two weeks? Please tell us how many people did this gem o…

While your pitch deck is beautiful (no argument here), your usability is less than average. If those navigational elements are meant to be sections, why do you not support back/forward navigation?

As an investor, these sorts of omissions make me doubt if your team is detail oriented (not just in the design sense) and will be able to make a product that is truly intuitive and easy-to-use (because honestly that's all that you're pitching).

I'm not sure they did that deck in-house. In the footer it says "Designed by Moxy Creative House" and that level of visual polish isn't present on the main Piccsy site.

Just uninformed guessing, but interesting if it's true.

Read the team bios. They are Moxy.
