Lots of unnecessarily harsh comments for what <i>could</i> be a cool idea.<p>He's doing a "Show HN" to get some feedback. Maybe we could all be a bit more constructive? Calling somebody's work a "joke" or an april fools prank isn't really all that nice. There's plenty of other places than HN I can go to watch somebody's work get needlessly trashed.<p>I agree his stuff needs work, but I bet all of our projects (for those that have actually <i>made</i> something) needs some level of work.<p>The vitriol here is kinda toxic, take a chill pill people.
I'm 99% sure this site is some sort of parody or joke.<p>After all, this is what it looks like on my iPhone: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/KNqzy.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/KNqzy.png</a><p>And searching 'TechCrunch' for 'Mobilova' returns zero results, despite Mobilova's claim that they were featured on TechCrunch.
Watched the video, some complaints.<p>* Your video says "GMBH", but your website says "MOBIlova".<p>* "Remote the dots" and "remove the domain" do not make it at all obvious that you mean the TLD.<p>* The worst thing, though, is that you didn't show us what happens once you hit "MOBILIZE." Does Mobilova then host a mobile version of the site? Do I get a static list of files? What's the point of the category dropdown?<p>I tried it out, using BoingBoing as an example. It took me to a page that says:
"Thank you very much for trying us. Your submission will be reviewed, and should be added shortly if accepted,
meanwhile add following code in your site header or template, to take full control of your mobile site"<p>If accepted? What? I literally have no idea what's going on. What happened to less than two minutes?
Renders poorly in Firefox 6 (Yes, Firefox 6 not IE 6). There's a weird floating half-cut off artifact that says something about 'ustom mobile site'...<p>Advice. If your service is centered around the generation of quality content formatting for other people's sites, better make sure your own house is in order first (both on mobile and in modern browsers). Otherwise it's like buying cabinets from a carpenter who conspired to already cut off half of his fingers and both of his thumbs.
Please, hire a designer. Also “create and monetize your mobile website in less than 2 mins for all phones.It's free to start.” – please, insert space after “all phones.”
Could you accomplish this by just starting with the URL as your first step? #1 - Enter your URL, then if you like what you see, enter your email, etc.<p>I didn't give it a try because the signup form looked daunting.
As others have pointed out you have a lot of work to do on your own site. Re-size the browser on your desktop an see if you notice anything that strikes you as odd. Hint: your design breaks apart. Mobile phones have a small screen so you must be able to re-size it seamlessly, before you can sell a web to mobile solution .
Is this what I am supposed to see - <a href="http://i54.tinypic.com/ibkkt2.png" rel="nofollow">http://i54.tinypic.com/ibkkt2.png</a> ? This hardly relates well to anything "kick ass".
