how about for the first page display a random subset of N pages worth of new submits, for a small N? Nobody scrolls past N pages anyway.

reminds me of what George Bernard Shaw said, "do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same."

a screencast of the app would nice

I actually prefer the "one click to start using"

maybe directly embed the screen cast in the starting template

I impressed by how easy it is to use. Perfect for Church moms organizing themselves.

I don't like how it's sending my password back to me in plaintext when I register, though.

We'll get that fixed.

We use it for our staff wiki at both of our companies. We've tried wikis before but found they were lacking in usability, particularly the problem with keeping it organized.

i'd love to see some hacker news ppl being interviewed

ya. but then with jumpp.in or jummp.in, it's hard to remember which of m or p is doubled

That's a better problem than having the whole domain name be hard to remember. I guarantee you a lot of people will look at this site and go, "Holy cow, that name is total nonsense," because the two doubled letters in a row make it no longer resemble the word "jump" so much as a cat walking on a keyboard. Personally, my skim-reading more closely associates it with the word "app" than "jump," which makes me want to read it as "jumapp."

My personal recommendation: For maximum readability, consider something like "letsjump.in". If you're attached to a quirkily spelled "jump in", "jumpp.in" is fairly readable.

i registered for both. so i now have

jummp.in letsjump.in jummpp.in

and incidentally, but completely unrelated,

hummpp.me ;)

which would should be the canonical? I am think letsjump.in? then in the future i can maybe buy jump.in, without having to rebrand

Nice. :)

Incidentally, I agree with all of the above commentary. Unfortunately, it's the sad reality of trying to start up an online service/product/whatnot today.

For the canonical, I like letsjump.in or gojump.in - and it's never too early to try and snag jump.in (the owner might be willing to part with it for less than you think). Good luck!

thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. I think the main lessons are:

1) provide independent login 2) explain better what facebook connect is used for 3) provide more information upfront what the service is like, some people can decide if they want it. 4) an example page

i am glad i got early feedback :) thank you all so much

yes. lesson learned. offer options other than facebook login.

the footer is a potemkin village ;)
