I'm no HN expert. The article just, well, reads like an ad/PR. And things that read like an ad, for an unknown company, that aren't obviously useful, tend not to get many upvotes.
I don't think I misunderstand your product. I just don't see why I would create another account to try another tool that doesn't add much over discord/slack and something like strawpoll.
I feel like app creators always underestimate the friction in trying new things, making new accounts, etc. And getting my friends to try a new account over using tools we already use? Unless I see something that really solves a problem I could not have possibly overcome before, I'm on to the next thing.
This is harsh but, I don't think this is going to take off. Or if it does, it needs a lot more features to get there, something that competes with Evernote but more collaborative.
