Hey, I don't hate. Just trying to help! :) I deeply admire anyone trying to do their own thing.

And I appreciate it. I should have said "if you confuse them and they call your app ugly"

I'm learning today that there's too much of a cognitive load in coming to the app fresh and seeing so much text from everywhere with so little context. There's too much inertia in the average reader to spend any time at all signing up. The site is ugly. People confuse the featureset with tumblr.

This is all tremendously good stuff, and you can believe me that I am taking notes. You've been a great help.
