That's the problem: You have to go to the homepage of the app and there isn't a link on the official apps blog page.

Here's the process I went through:

* Click HN link

* Okay, so what does this do? Click on Cheddar for Mac

* Great, known issues and a download link, but _what_ am I downloading? click "our blog" to go to blog front page

* Scroll through the most of the front page. I see open sourcing news, shirts and other stuff, but not what it does.

* Okay, I see a GitHub link. Let's go there.

* Top of the GitHub page has "Cheddar for iOS — Read more" still not helpful enough. Fine, I'll read more.

* Finally at the end of the first line: "a simple & instant task manager."




I can see how that can be quite cumbersome. I guess we just navigate websites in a different manner. Navigating to the homepage via the URL field is always my first instinct.

Different strokes for different folks.


The whole point is that you shouldn't have to go looking.

If you want me to use your product, you damn well better tell me what it is first.
