I'm still looking through the site, but right off the bat, I'd say I'm not sure about the name. What does it mean? It's pronounced "Pro", but it reminds me of "faux", which is probably not what you want. Just wondering where the name came from and if I'm missing something clever.

Yeah, the moment I saw "Prauxmote yourself", i closed the window. I don't know if it's supposed to be cute or clever, but it made me feel uneasy.

I didn't close my window... but the only reason I didn't was that I was intending to provide a review for an HN'er, as a service.

I vomited a little in my mouth though, as I despise invented marketspeak words.

Also, I'm not on a particularly fast connection at the moment, but your graphical widget (I assume it was flash) took a few seconds to show up for me. I had probably 2-3 seconds where I was being told to Prauxmote myself, by PC... and that was it.

I definitely would've hit the back button in any other circumstance.
