Show HN: Linkwok – Picking up where search engines left off

As the other commenters have said, this was incomprehensible to me (I didn't watch the video, unlike the others, but you should be prepared for people not watching introductory videos - I for one hardly ever do).

Does this make more sense in other cultures? I know a wok is a round-bottomed cooking pan - I don't know what that has to do with links or search though. There also seemed sporadically to be some anime characters showing up - should this have been a clue to something?

This could be something incredible, I just have no idea what.

Please refer my answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8283554

As for the name - The idea was that it's a wok(cooking pan) for what you find on the web.

And the video - I agree entirely. Any app should be simple enough that when you get there you know what to do. Unfortunately either we need to find a new UI/UX and Interactions guy or more likely it's a process to get a completely intuitive UI and we're working towards that. I'm just glad we hadn't posted the last version on HN - I'll admit it was appalling! As one commentator on Twitter said - it's like Prezi for research so please give it another go. There's a feedback button in the app that you can use. Thanks.
