Hey HN.
Most people seem to "get" what our app does only after they use it at least once.<p>One of the most common feedbacks is "I didn't know i needed this. Now i can't work without it."<p>How could we communicate it better? http://snappy-app.com/
I just went to the site and looked at it.<p>Your demo is confusing and not very communicative to me. Even after seeing it I couldn't figure out what you were trying to communicate with it.<p>I think you'd do better to have a video demo showing a specific use case, and explaining better how it works.<p>Also, Facebook sdk is complaining about an invalid app id.<p>BTW -- I am on a mac using chrome on the site, if that helps as far as the demo experience.
From only reading the site, my guess is that the product allows you to select a rectangle, and whatever apps' window surface is in that layer stays there. So I could highlight the bottom 40px of my slack window and those bottom 40px would always be visible and updating even if I open another window over the "snap".<p>That's how I'm reading it. If that's actually true, that's pretty compelling. A "bring to front" of any portion of any app that keeps it live.<p>If not, then either I'm way off base or the site isn't clarifying the purpose behind keeping a snap "floating" - why is that a marketable point?<p>Edit: typo and clarification on final question
Just a quick list:<p>1. You use the name "snapshots" in the header, yet call it a Snap everywhere else.<p>2. You don't outright define what a Snap is anywhere on the page. I have to infer what it is from the screenshots and specific, single words you use.<p>3. Platforms in the header are disjointed. Put both on one side. Information should be modular--the OS X/iOS parts should be close together--so the user doesn't have to look around for it.
Had me interested enough to look at the App store and then I saw a bunch of in-app purchases are required for full functionality. Lost interest at that point. Would rather just pay for an app and not have to worry about unlocking features.
You're trying to upsell the act of taking a screenshot. From that perspective, you have about thirty seconds of my attention before I close the tab. Your site has a B2B design for a B2C product.
