I think that deck is much better designed than the product itself. Actually I was disappointed by that as I expected something on the same level. I guess I might be not the only one feeling that way.

#62Team has no apparent prior company operations experience, let alone M&A success. "Technical" team member isn't a "founder". They're in photo sharing and clearly following in Pinterest's footsteps. Yet, took the time to build an extremely well-designed, intricate, graphical investment pitch in HTML. Not sure if that's an antipattern or not. Certainly, an equivalently beautiful presentation aimed at prospective users o…
I get the same visceral reaction. If anything, they are too broad and in a space where zipfs law rule supreme.

#63Design wise, and I've seen this more often lately with fancy HTML5 things, the whole assumption of a minimum browser height really gets on my nerves. I know Google+ has this problem too (along with the disabling of vertical scrolling), though a redesign might have changed it.
I browse on a Mac, and not in full-screen mode. My browser isn't sized to fill the screen as it would be in Windows. Yet elements on the page are sized big enough to overflow without resizing the window. Combined with a navbar that is fixed to the top (and is huge), there's even less space to read the actual content. The layout suggests that each section is probably designed to fit comfortably within the browser window.
Granted, this is less of an offender than other sites I've encountered. If I could remember what they were, I'd be able to back up my point better.

#64How can they have so many visitors with no website? http://www.piccsy.com doesn't give me anything. Is it just me?
It is just you.

#65Heh. Beautiful on desktop maybe, but on Chrome for Android, it's messy and runs like a slideshow while I can feel my phone getting really hot... better hope your investors aren't checking on mobile.

#66Who's the artist for the team pics? I quite like them. Maybe not the blinking so much though.

#68...except they misspelled "Flickr" on the second slide. But I guess only nitpickers like me would mind. :-)

I'm hope this is just a pretty slide deck for public consumption, not really for "investors". e.g. that slide with visitors and uniques screams vanity metrics to me...
Re: Piccsy Pitchdeck
#70For a pitch deck it made zero sense to me. "the problem" was a bunch of unreadable junk. "the solution" was...? Wtf?
Agreed, the problem was way to difficult to understand. People are just wooed by moving circles I guess.
