The site is beautiful, but even after reading the blurb, I'm not sure what Tonido <i>is</i>. Is it for users or developers?

Sketchiness quotient increasing:<p><a href="http://www.tonido.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&#38;t=44" rel="nofollow">http://www.tonido.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&#38;t=44</a><p>It doesn't look like you mean the same thing that everyone else means when you say "open source". You want to update this?

Your pitch is good enough that I was really annoyed when I realized that it is closed-source. I do not expect the crypto/privacy aficionados to help you out with this product.

Yeah, I'm still clueless in regards to what its actual functionality is.

I have no issues with the Music, files or other documents. Setup has been super easy thus far. I look forward to testing it out on my WinDoze machine next.<p>A userful review may be found at: <a href="http://www.linux-magazine.com/issues/2009/105/cloud_9" rel="nofollow">http://www.linux-magazine.com/issues/2009/105/cloud_9</a><p>I agree the tonido website content does the toolset a 'huge' disservice. Tonido is a great environment which is unclearly under-communicated, under-stated, and unclear.<p>Where it does appear there is no mention of its use for small business; which is huge.<p>I was not even able to find mention of it on the Ubuntu Forums site... on the main Ubuntu site it appears once: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/P2PHowTo#Tonido%20-%20Peer-to-Peer%20Personal%20web%20application%20platform" rel="nofollow">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/P2PHowTo#Tonido%20-%20Peer...</a>

It took a while for the page to load, look into YSlow or that new Google PageSpeed to optimize it. Also took a couple minutes to grok what it does. Once I did, I immediately wanted to get it but was hesitant about how much it cost. I didn't see any mention of price anywhere. If it's free, be sure to mention that somewhere (preferably in big bold letters).<p>All in all, it looks like you guys have done quite a good job. Good work and I'll be one of your users soon enough (once I get home and can open port forwarding).

I'm not sure I expected the site to look that amazing. Awesome job!<p>I really like the idea behind the software to. I can't wait to hear about you in the news down the road :)

Nice graphics but when I load the page the graphics take up my viewer (1280 by 800) and there is no copy to tell me what it is? I have to scroll down. I would suggest integrate short description into nice design right at the top so when page loads ppl get it right away!
anigbrowlabout 16 years ago
Giant graphic obscures your info. I didn't really want to scroll down to find out what. Otherwise home page is good.<p>I'm not sure what it is you're offering that I can't do with, say, OpenOffice. What makes your apps different from/better than existing desktop software?

Who's your target userbase and how do you plan to make money (assuming this is a business venture and not a non-profit) ?<p>In other words, are you being realistic by hoping to sell "no server dependency" to an average Joe, the Flickr user ?

looks nice but i dont know what it does. i read pretty much the entire front page and i cannot tell exactly what it is. looks like a professional site though!

Great idea, beautiful site, and the software looks great (haven't tried it yet). What's your business model if you don't mind me asking?

looks very nice. Who designed the site? Graphics? Logo?

should the key message target functionality or underlying philosophy of the product?
