URL: http://scribld.in/<p>First, thanks for taking the time to check it out.<p>I frequently find myself having ideas for projects, startups, etc. and find it difficult to keep them all organized. I wanted to build a site where I could keep all of those ideas together and bring people in for feedback as I needed; after two days and 30 hours of coding, this is the result.<p>If you have any questions, comments, feedback, etc. please feel free to ask them here or via e-mail (address in profile).
I'm writing this as I go:<p>I hate having to log in to things to try them.<p>99% of the time I use a fake e-mail and junk password just to get past the barrier. If I like the service, then I rejoin with information I'm likely to remember.<p>Tried it with junk e-mail then realized you send an e-mail validation. Why? So annoying. Will attempt to re-register and use mailinator. Success, finally!<p>If I happened upon this site, I wouldn't be confident enough in what it does to ever create an account. Too much hassle to create an account for something that I have very little idea of what it does. It takes notes and lets me share them? I don't see the value.<p>Ok, I'm signed in... now I <i>finally</i> get to see wtf this thing does.<p>It's basically a way for me to create tiny discussions about stuff. Kind of neat... except for the fact that people are going to have to log in to comment and view any of my scribbles.<p>If you could make things more open by alleviating any need to log in, I might use it.
Nice utility. Few things that I think can improve user experience :
1. User gets no clue about what it is, what to do, how to do until and unless he creates an account. (there should be some kind of demo/trial stuff before logging in).
2. Even after logging in the documentation is very limited.<p>The thing is that User should know what to do. I understand it's a weekend project but i guess u can use HNers comments to improve it .
I was looking for something like this, but I would find it even more useful if it had like a mindmap feature. Not a classical mindmap, but more like "linking posts together" function. Because I like to review my thoughts as a whole, so a mindmap does a better job there. Nonetheless I do like the simplicity.
