I love the anxiety version, it's hilarious. Kinda like Phabricator website

- https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/

Feedback for the creators: (1) Delete /anxiety ASAP. I suspect this was supposed to be humor, but it doesn't work. (2) Instead of ceding your first impression to chance, talk to people and figure out what messages/benefits resonate most with potential users. Feature those on your home page.

I thought it was pretty funny, but I suppose humor is subjective like that.

It is. But I actually thought the entire website was fake and left.

And no offence but when I am handing over my money and company data I am not looking for humour.

Yet, it does get to HN frontpage almost every quarter...

In my experience B2B services are more successful when they are more serious. While I find this website funny, it doesn't give me enough arsenal to sell it to my team/manager/company. The best SaaS products have clear value props and resonate with a problem you're currently having. Sure I'll share this with my teammates bc it's funny but we'll hardly take it seriously.

The other day I complained on reddit about users deleting their own posts. It's really annoying. There was only one response, "You're overthinking it, man". Now it was me who was annoyed.

Time to pass this one on, I guess: You're overthinking it man.

There.

> You're overthinking it man.

Ha! Quite possibly, but it was a sincere attempt to help them improve the perception of their product, and I stand by the advice. In any case, I appreciate the feedback!
