A comment on Are You A Typing Hacker? Prove It.

"Made with Impact" made me bounce before the page could fully load after waiting a full 10 seconds and it was still only halfway done. Maybe I would have stuck around if I had a clue what I was waiting for. From the other comments I'm guessing it's a game? I know, I could go back and do it now, but a typing game doesn't interest me personally too much.

Just my mood right now, I'm sure your game is fun. Hope you have success with it. Hope my criticism is constructive, don't mean to be a downer.

You can't critic something if you don't even try it. I've been reading this kind of messages really often at HN and I wish these people can't even enter HN to post, it should be forbidden.

Look, I'm just saying that there is no information about what we're trying to wait for going into a long loading process. Perhaps there are more people who are bouncing, too. I'm just trying to provide a bit of information about my experience that might help the OP enhance their thing to help people understand it better.

What long loading process?

The pages load in less than a second.

Personally, from the title of the post I knew I was going to get a typing game.

For what it's worth, it did seem to take about 30+ seconds to load for me. I also almost gave up.

Strange. Mine took less than a second.

I thought it was going to be a weird job posting, actually. And it really did take more than 10 seconds for it to load even 50% for me.

OP was not saying that he tried the game, he was saying that he tried to load the game and this is exactly what his critique was aimed at.

FYI - I had the same experience.

I waited for like 20-40 seconds for the stuff to load and then left the site...

Do you think such user experience feedback would be valid for your own project?
