Ask HN: Metaphor for describing how an online product works

1 点作者 dome82超过 8 年前
Need to describe how an online product works in plain english (servers, requests, frontend, cloud, backend, APIs, etc..) to non-tech people.<p>How would you describe it? Is there a good metaphor that I could use for this?<p>:) Thanks! :)

Describe the user&#x27;s interaction from the user&#x27;s perspective. If it&#x27;s press a button and get a hamburger, that&#x27;s the right description.<p>The next level down is to describe the API to developers.<p>Beyond that, it doesn&#x27;t matter much to anyone external...e.g. non-technical investors will care about the business model more than the difference between HTTP and UDP.<p>Good luck.
