It's hilarious reading the other comments. I'm on mobile but my first thought was how interesting and novel the site design was and how clearly communicated the problem they were trying to solve

Cool post! It's refreshing to read a blog that doesn't ask me to subscribe with popups etc and gets into technical weeds

Thanks! Site is still in stealth alpha and posted an article here in hopes to get -some- feedback. Didn't expect this kind of anger hahah. Very grateful for the positive comments though.

Im on the fence about pre-opening the 'tiles' on mobile. Do you (or anyone else) have any strong opinions on that?

I thought everything was pretty easy to use as soon as I realized what clicking a button would do (a little trickiness if you open the tile while the button is nearly off the top of the screen but honestly really great)

Because I don't know what the drop off rate is when someone reads this, take what I say with lots of salt.

Giving one button as a demo and then saying click on button to close (and leaving it implicit that the rest of the buttons need to be opened manually) seems good? Leaving them closed by default worked great for me!
