I assume that someone has been mighty proud about the website. But I am sorry, it is terrible. Loading my "experience" took over a minute. An my "experience" is not even cached, it was loaded from scratch on the second visit.
Also, while it looks visually stunning, it is really not helping much introducing the product. I find it rather confusing, really.
The first thing I noticed - when you searched for "upcycling", all results that you have shown hat the exact match keyword "upcyling" in their filename. If this is just a text grep, then the product is redundant: "everything" exists.
In case you really would get results for "upcycling" based on an internal LLM-based summary of disk content, that would be great - but your live demo does not show that.
Also, later down my "experience" you try to show how user input is handled. But as the "experience" is fixed size and can not be zoomed in, it is impossible to read any of the blurry text.
Again, I understand that this "experience" looks impressive. But it is a complete distraction and does not help at all to introduce your product.
I spent 5 minutes looking at this, one of that looking at a loading spinner like it's 2005 again, and I have no clue what your USP is.
And to be honest: Your HN post here also is not helping. Think "Dropbox + NotebookLM + Perplexity" - what? That makes no sense. It is a complete distraction. Explain what your product/service is, what it's USP is, and what value it provides to me.
Instead after a wall of text you are explaining me that one can select files by clicking on them.
Can you please make your substantive points without being a jerk on HN? That's particularly important when people are sharing their work. Putdowns are poisonous and unnecessary.
Then this is what you should point out. In this case the file names in your promo visualization should NOT contain the search keyword.
So if a search for "fashion upcycling" also returns "case_study_on_how_to_turn_PET_into_clothings.docx", then that's a great USP, and that is what you should point out in your pitch and visualization.
This is because in real life most people already fail at finding good search terms. Many people are not even able to come up with a collection of words to put into the google search box. And the word(s) they may choose could be too specific, or not specific enough. So any kind of "unsharp" search is helping those kind of users.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. On the landing page animation, out of 8 search results, only 3 have the word "upcycling", and 5 have either "upcycled" or "upcycling". In the segment after that, two files have neither "upcycling" nor "upcycled". What you're referring to seems already to be the case.
