Congrats! Those are some worthy achievements.

Thanks, we're really happy with how the launch went. We couldn't have asked for more.

In the first paragraph of your post you should mention what alias does.

Or at least make your value more clear on the rest of the page. I don't immediately understand what your product does from the small hard to find "manage your aliases in the cloud" phrase.

In fact the first thing I'm aware of when visiting your page is that it is very easy to register for your service. But it's very hard to find out what that service might be.

Thanks, I thought it was clear from the three feature boxes at the top of the site but I see what you mean. I've added a few extra words into the opening paragraph.

Emphasizing that you're a way to manage bash aliases rather than just aliases might go a long way to clear things up. I thought for a few minutes that you might be a way of managing my facebook, twitter or hn profiles.

Featured Aliases on home page were really engaging. Infinite Scroll could help keep the continuity. Having to click to 'next' button on Home page makes me feel I am going away from the Home page and probably will have to hit 'Back' to click on register/log-in.

I'd also like to thank HN. I find out about many great things through this site, including the new job I just got in San Francisco!

After reading that you had send passwords via mail, just one quick question: Do you store passwords encrypted?

benjy14• 14 years ago

Go re-read that section. We've never sent people's passwords out to them and all passwords are stored encrypted.

Oh okay, I see what I got wrong, thanks.
