Did Flexport just preemptively reveal Amazon’s entry into the ocean freight market and then convince every major newspaper in the world to label the service unfit for American companies?
Is Larry Page trolling PG? A day after PG publishes an essay that companies should own the .com version of their names, he renames Google to Alphabet with .xyz as the TLD.
I understand that you are frustrated. Thanks to blogs and forums, it is so easy to criticize someone in public. But that doesn't mean you should. Perhaps, you should have spoken to the founders first about your complaints and concerns before going public.
I see your point, but respectfully disagree. When someone posts a review on Amazon about a product or on Yelp about a restaurant or service, how is that different? I also don't think I was overly critical and hopefully provided some valid points and advice, and wanted to jot everything down while it was fresh in my mind.
You are right. The thing is, you have to start somewhere. There are many decent products for structure. So we are starting with the other extreme. Give us some time.
True, and I commend you for putting it out there and iterating.
If there was one suggestion I might have on where to go next, it would be improving fine grained control of item placement (as alluded to in my original comment). No one has done this well, and it is one of the things that makes coders say "screw it, I'll just do it with CSS", and non coders say "screw it, I'll hire a designer/programmer.
The Techcrunch article was beautifully written, IMO. I think it is hard to say what we really are. If you talk about parallels to existing products, some people see a blog, some a wiki, and some a website builder.
And I agree we can use more structural elements. Freedom is often limiting.
