Receivd - beautiful, fast filesharing for everyone

Feedback:<p>&#62; Receivd - beautiful, fast filesharing for everyone<p>Everyone who has a Mac? Or everyone? I only see screenshots of a Mac app. There are sketches of other apps, but I'm guessing those do not exist yet.<p>“Real time file sharing” as a tagline seems kind of meaningless. Two reasons I don't like it: a) real-time seems overly technical, and b) real-time is implied. No one expects that there would be a delay (beyond the amount of time it takes to send the file.)<p>Finally, this seems like it occupies a weird grey area between dropbox and email. All the examples you give are things that I can easily do with email. If email proves to be too much of a hassle, I have to convince people to use something else, and teach them how it works. Between this and dropbox, why do I choose this?<p>Minor point: To look at all 4 screenshots in large-o-vision, I have to first click one, then close it, click the next, and so on. Arrows within the lightbox would be appreciated.<p>Also, I realize this sounds kind of harsh, but I don't mean it too—I'm just putting out there the first things that come to mind. I think there actually <i>is</i> room between dropbox and email, but you're going to have to work a little bit on positioning your product properly to define that space.

<i>We're opening up Receivd to users slowly. If you'd like to get VIP access, please tell people about Receivd on Twitter and Facebook using the buttons below.</i><p>I got this message when signing up for access and I have to ask: Why would I tell people on Twitter and Facebook about this if I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet?

Sorry to be Debbie Downer, and a little bit off topic: when will the trend of dropping vowels from names end? Googling for "Receivd" autocorrects, and I doubt they're going to be expedient in fixing that. Domain names are now responsible for devolving English...<p>I need someone to hate for this. Was Flickr first?

Uhm. So what is <i>the</i> difference here? The ability to easily share with pre-configured lists of people? The rest of what's outlined on a linked page does not strike me as something that wasn't successfully done before.<p>Genuine question. Consider it a lead for <i>how to change the landing page for more clarity</i> discussion.

I'm sure that it exists, but could someone describe for me the main point of differentiation between Receivd and a shared folder on Dropbox?<p>That is, what should be compelling me to download <i>another</i> application to do that which I can (seemingly) accomplish with one already installed?<p>I'm not trying to be simply critical, but rather just pointing out that, at least from the landing page, there isn't anything necessarily motivating me to sign up. (That said, as it's on HN, I'd love to sign up, if only to provide feedback!)

If you guys sign up with +hn within your email, we'll make sure to give you access right away.

Been using the Alpha for the past few weeks, and the product is super slick and polished for the first release.<p>I'm not sure why people are talking about the landing page, domain name, and other irrelevant stuff. Dropbox is really good at syncing files across systems, but not that great for sharing files quickly and effortlessly. Receivd in my opinion is trying to solve this problem.

The Mac app feels unfinished — connections, files, etc. aren't draggable, reshare doesn't work (can't even select the files), but all of that is stuff you'll obviously get around to.<p>I'm using it now, and it's <i>so close</i> to being exactly what I need, with two necessary pivots that seem almost predestined to happen from your current position. The current basis of it being an inbox for files is already on the right track, and something I haven't seen attempted before, but it needs a little more verisimilitude to email:<p>1) The requirement to invite / induce signup / confirm "connections" needs to be ruthlessly optimized out — I should be able to just send a file to any email easily, forming a 'weak' connection. Maybe they have to do a 3 second signup to download the file, but it needs to be all in one motion. This obviously brings up a ton of issues like how to display the now 4 types of connections and unsolicited files, but it's essential to you getting traction.<p>2) 'sent' files need to behave like a outbox — remember that one of the biggest uses of email attachments is just sending stuff to yourself. Really you should just implement that straight up, it's the biggest use I'd have, and one I think you would find yourself as soon as you get the iOS client going. The dropbox iOS app's UI is terrible for it (pick one photo at a time and wait), plus really the filesystem metaphor is all wrong anyway! I actually <i>want</i> the transactional inbox feel of email here. If you don't explicitly support this I'm just going to end up using it with a computers account and an iPhone account.

Hmmm mac only for now. I'd be able to try this out with Linux and Windows versions. I have a mac, but it usually sends files to non-macs.<p>What's the advantage over Dropbox? Does your service go through a central server, or is it more p2p? Or both? Are my files encrypted on your server? Storage or bandwidth caps?

&#62; Unlike email, all photos and videos sent via Receivd are delivered at the same high quality resolution that your camera supports. No compromises.<p>What? Whose email client does this?

Looks a bit different from Sendoid (<a href="http://sendoid.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sendoid.com/</a>), but still, are they in competition?

Do you also own recievd.com? I'm sure a lot of people forget "I before E, except after C."

We don't have screenshots up, but there's also a really hot iOS app in the works.

I've been hurting since drop.io shut. This sounds like a good replacement.<p>EDIT: Functionality is quite different than drop.io and less anonymous in terms of sharing (though powerful for sharing with small groups or individuals). It would be great to get a private URL for each item shared, a la google docs.

After 5 seconds on the site, I'll share my first impressions before they fade, because I think they could be useful.<p>In my nominal browser view, all I see above the fold is a logo the size of an elephant, a blank field labeled "Submit", and what looks like screencaps from iTunes.

I need to be able to upload files from the *nix/OSX command line. Is that supported?
dglassan大约 14 年前
You need to label your input field better....all it is is an input field with a button that says submit. It's not very clear to people that they need to enter an email address

Have signed up! Waiting for the invite. My bro is tech averse and hence Dropbox averse. I always find it difficult to share docs with him. Hope receivd solves it for me!

So.. dropbox + sync that always unions files from local source + interface for access control?<p>Seems like the functionality could be copied pretty quickly...
skyfallsin大约 14 年前
Thanks for your interest, excellent comments and support! We're still giving quick access to HN users - append +hn when you signup (ex: user+hn@domain.com)
skyfallsin大约 14 年前
Also, we're based out of Mountain View (no offices yet). Let us know if you'd like to sync up :)

It's a awesome app. This is the way I want, for sharing files. BTW, is it created by Macruby?

Nice, but why would I leave Dropbox? Also, I like www.letscrateit.com for ad hoc sharing.

Can't wait to get an invite to start playing with this!

Will there be Windows support?
