Small quibble about the video. This is not hacker-attentional grade. With the sound off, I lose interest when I fail to see content by the 5s mark. (Just some model bouncing around an apartment she could never afford on a model's salary.)
Small quibble about your comment. This product is not made just for hackers so how about we cut them some hacker slack and concentrate on actual praise or critique of the product/implementation?
Cheers
P.S. This would have been great as part of a product I made a couple of years ago. Nice job guys!
Right. If HN is so sensitive to critique that something introduced as a 'small quibble' -- a marketing tip, from someone who has been there -- then you, HN, have jumped at least one shark, and probably several other marine macrofauna.
Ummmm I'll respond to the first part of this comment since I'm not smart enough to understand the reference in the second part.
Your comment was snark disguised as a critique. Remove "This is not hacker-attentional grade" and the stuff about the model bouncing around and something about the affordability of the apartment (maybe you have something against models bouncing around in expensive apartments) -- The rest of your comment actually is a good tip. :)
ok I don't even know what that means. My point was the OP was showing a product and as "hackers" we tend to (should?) give feedback on the product being shown. As a "hacker" I would assume you would take into consideration a marketing video is not targeted towards "hackers" and not fixated on it enough to have a quibble with it. I was wrong. Maybe you're not a product person and would like every product to market itself with hacker grade videos.
