Hey buddy,

Thanks for the feedback. We've gotten a lot of the feedback. What we did was make the frontpage more clearer. It used to be images/videos on the frontpage, but they were now replaced by Product Boxes.

Pre-ordering is currently being contemplating. What do you think?

horyd, thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely be making it more translucent. We realize the need to make the pictures speak for themselves. Thanks so much for this. If you have any other observation, I would love to hear about them. Feel free to email me at grant(at)hypejar(dot)com.

Hi xauronx,

Thanks for the feedback. What you say actually confirms what we've been hating ourselves! What we're gonna be doing is making the pics less dark when hovering over. We're also gonna be pushing the buttons to the top left so that you don't have place your cover in a "crack."

Thanks so much for your observation.

RossH,

That's freaking awesome feedback. It's awesome because we're actually gonna be modifying the hover over the items. (I've realized that I hate it too!)

Feel free to email me personally. I would love to provide you with in-depth insight into Hypejar and would love to hear further feedback from you (if possible). grant(at)hypejar.com.

Hi, thanks so much for the feedback.

We're not trying to be Pinterest for men. While the frontpage may seem similar to them, our content really centers around future products. In the process, what we're trying to do is to get a good sense of how much others are anticipating the products. (for example, what is the lineup for the next iPhone gonna look like)

I do understand that it is slightly confusing. It's a quiet launch so that we can tweak it and make it as best as possible. What part of the navigation more specifically do you find is a bit confusing?

That's a fair question Kevin. The reason we embarked on this project was because there is no single place on the Internet right now where you can see what is coming out in the future. There may be information, but it is scattered across various sites and blogs. We provide that one place.

More importantly, it provides the answer to the question: how one can find or look for something when that person does not know its existence?

Hypejar is still in its infancy and we're continuously working to make it better and more informative.

Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated.

That's a good question. Firstly, Metacritic focuses its score/reviews of critics and not really the public. Hypejar on the other hand, focuses on the level anticipation of the general public before a product releases.

Secondly, Hypejar focuses only on products before they release whereas Metacritic does both pre and post release of products.

Hypejar also offers notification system for upcoming releases and features such as the Browse and the Calendar.

So to answer your question, it's not really to "switch over" users, but to rather offer something vastly different.
