Kinda baffled at all these devs writing new apps and promoting them by only saying "try QAWDSX, my new app!"
What does your app do? What's it for? Why would I want it? How does it help my life? You've named it after a color or a city or a mood or some made up word or whatever - and you have given me no idea what it's for in any of your announcements. You've made it impossible for me to be interested in it. Bizarre.

@mitten@social.lol exactly! I sometimes see announcements of “Qixtblr releases improved version 3.5!” and the landing page tells you how to install or upgrade and assumes you already know what it’s for.

@mitten@social.lol and all too often the landing page is barely more than a signup form

@mitten@social.lol See also: websites about a software that are full of marketing speak for "awesome!!", but don't say what it's for...

@mitten@social.lol "QAWDSX is like an opiniated and beautiful cross between GjiihTujv and %UjgFga7."
