Very interesting, but one big flaw is that the app look like a video, with the Play button on it. I clicked on it and was waiting for the video to play and then I realized that I was supposed to interact with it with my mouse. I would consider changing the icon, or having a bubble that pops up and tells you that you can interact with it like an app.
My portfolio looks different when I'm logged in vs. when I open up the URL in incognito window. That's ok (HN does it too) but you should give me some way of previewing the guest-view. E.g. <a href="https://kickfolio.com/chirag?preview" rel="nofollow">https://kickfolio.com/chirag?preview</a> or something.<p>Bug: When I'm logged in, <a href="https://kickfolio.com/chirag/tip-of-my-tongue" rel="nofollow">https://kickfolio.com/chirag/tip-of-my-tongue</a> and <a href="https://kickfolio.com/chirag/ktype" rel="nofollow">https://kickfolio.com/chirag/ktype</a> show "We're sorry, but something went wrong."<p>Also, is there any way for someone to claim their own app? I test added 'Angry Birds' to my portfolio and it worked. What if someone else adds my app?
You do a much better job that app.net at demoing your service. I can't even see what an app.net site looks like, whereas I've seen your service and am already really excited about it.
This is more of a Pieceable comment/question rather than kickfolio.<p>One concern I would have would be that apps are now usable outside of the device. If you have a paid app are you opening the door to free usage? Say you have a specialized calculator of some sort. Now anyone can use it for free through a browser.<p>I realize that there's a cost associated with the number of simultaneous users. Maybe that's the limiting mechanism.<p>Also:<p><a href="https://www.pieceable.com/facebook" rel="nofollow">https://www.pieceable.com/facebook</a><p>"We will be winding down the Pieceable service at the end of the year so we can focus on the new challenges and opportunities at Facebook. Facebook is not acquiring the company, technology, or customer data. We know many of you have come to rely on the Pieceable service, and we want to make sure that you can continue to do so even after we shut down our hosted service on December 31, 2012. In a few months, we'll be releasing an open source version of Pieceable Viewer that you'll be able to run on your own Mac hardware - we'll have more details on that soon."<p>Which is potentially good news long-term.
it looks nice and not expensive but i did not understand the "demo" part, where are they?
also what are the main differeces with other similar services? i rember seeing one some time ago that so a lot similar, something like app.net but i am not sure, but another example is limelightapp.com<p>good job anyway it looks really nice!<p>Oh one last thing, will the bar be always stick to the top of my page? that's something i would prefer not to be on my app's page. Users do not know i use your service and i think it might be confusing. I can understand if it might stay there with the free plan but with the paid ones it must go away IMHO. that said, Good Luck. ;)
Hey guys, great use of Pieceable to innovate the app feedback piece. I like your templates too!<p>How are you guarding against other upstarts in this space like ooomf (<a href="http://ooomf.com" rel="nofollow">http://ooomf.com</a>) that are also bringing great design to mobile app landing pages (where launchrock et. al. don't shine as much?)<p>Also, any hope to solve the app preview problem in a way that doesn't use Flash so that it can run on Mobile Safarai?
Extremely impressive right off the bat. Signed up right after seeing the positive app reviews be fetched. But how do I sort the apps once I've added them? See here: <a href="http://kickfolio.com/epaga" rel="nofollow">http://kickfolio.com/epaga</a> I'd like to have EmptyInbox be the one at the top.
Just a small comment from me. Checked out one of the folios and noticed clicking on a demo says it requires flash. Disappointing as I am on an iPad. Surely many potential app users will. E browsing on their iOS devices? Did I miss something?
I've just posted a couple of projects and love the way it looks. As for the live-demo part, I haven't uploaded the apps yet, wondering if you'll be streaming audio, as my apps are sound-centric (Sonic Wire Sculptor, Numby)<p>Great job!
very impressed. a couple of questions:<p>is it possible to change the url of the app? for example my app title was pretty long and would be nice if the url was shorter.<p>how often do you check for updates on the screenshots and description, etc? i have an update releasing in the next week or so.<p>android???
I liked it until I clicked the Modest demo and it said my iPad needs Flash installed :(<p>Wouldn't that be a not-so-great idea for an iOS centric audience?
