Ask HN: Review my startup, didlog.com

We'll be adding a page shortly to give more details about how it works, but I'm mostly interested if this is something you'd use and what sort of integrations would be useful for a service like this.

A demo or some screenshots would definitely help me understand how this works. I understand what it does, but have no idea how it does that. Most people wouldn't bother signing up without that info.

Also, as you scroll down, there is a very large amount of white space, which seems to be just wasting screen real estate.

All the best to you.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll be adding a page soon to help describe the product better.

The white space was an unintentional issue with the CSS, and should be fixed now.

There is a HUGE gap between elements on the page, is this intended, if so, why? Any chance to get a demo? After clicking sign up I saw a demo link but it just takes to the homepage and I would rather see something before subscribing. I have to say that the screenshot looks nice. More(and bigger) screenshots would do ok too.

Looking at it in the console, there's content there, an H1 tag with "Simple / Connected / Automatic" and an image. That div has a min-height attribute of 900px.

So, no, I would guess it's not intentional.

That was certainly not intentional. Should be fixed now.

Just confirming that it's perfect on my screen.

I think you should create a video or have a step by step page with photos on how the product works. I get the basic idea but you need to convince me to sign up and right now there isn't enough info showing me how using your startup will improve my workflow.

"We don't sell, share, or NSA your data. No one can access your log without your say so."

NSA is now a verb. Is this the first instance of this? Very cool if it is.

If nothing else, we can rest our hat on that.
