Unpopular opinion but here goes 1. UX is hopeless (menu on the right, post on the left? ) and different to be different (use common design patterns, don't re-invent the wheel to be different. User have expectations from other sites they use, don't violate them) 2. Onboarding unclear 3. Non-existent discoverability 4. Tons of different domains joinmastodon.org, mastodon.social, mstdn.social doesn't work nicely with password managers and difficult to remember which to go to login...

Sadly, it will enjoy a bump for a few weeks...and then float back into obscurity. In my eyes this is DOA in its current state.

I’m the opposite. I hate when people don’t use Calendly or the like. The back and forth is time consuming. I like the ability to choose a time and always receive a calendar invite (so I don’t have to create one).

Nice job. Cool idea.

Yeah it's so odd to me that Signal has such top tier engineers and they can't manage to get a presentable desktop app. It looks and feels like a boilerplate Electron chat app with no styling and subpar performance (oh but they have stickers :eyeroll:).

No JS on the website (so far)…nice.

Interesting. Been thinking about something like this. You mentioned other privacy preserving services; which products do you think are most in need of privacy preserving alternatives?

No doubt Naval is a smart guy but the cult of Naval has always struck me as weird/off putting

Yeah, I tend to agree. There seems like there'd be a ton of noise in clipboard content to actually make use of it.

They quietly should've hired a designer ;)

Hi all! I’m currently working on a product called Betty (http://trybetty.com) that allows users to schedule completely within email without the back and forth.

I recently opened up the product to a public beta and I’d love to get some feedback (good or bad).

Try it out here: http://www.trybetty.com

1. What do you think of the product? 2. What is the one feature would you like it to have?

Thanks in advance!
