You're doing it wrong - you want my personal information based on nothing more than a promise of privacy, productivity, and security? No. Tell me what you're offering, otherwise it's indistinguishable from a scam.

I think it's telling that the user posted again at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26862720 without replying to your concerns.

This is a landing page that tells no more than the purpose for a specific audience. If you feel like it's not what you want, you're not the audience.

I collected extremely valuable feedback already thanks to these links.

Have a great week.

It is very much what I want. But identifying wants - in only single words - without saying anything about how they will be met is not a good trade for my personal info. I am not asking for much.

Got it, you're hesitant to share your name and email and you're not forced for that. Instead of joining the private beta, you can just wait until it's public.

Every project needs some early adopters. That's what I'm seeking here.

You seem to be deliberately missing the point. I'd cheerfully give you my contact info and be an early adopter, but all you have shown is the contents page of a whitepaper.

These are just buzzwords. In the time you've taken replying in this thread, you could have written three or four sentences summarizing what your product will do differently. If you care so much about my privacy and security, what exactly are you offering in return for my contact information?

It's like if I offer you Luxury, precision, style, value. NewThing is the product for high achievers who demand the best. Apply now for exclusive preview and priority access. I too can conjure up a list of desirable qualities and leverage FOMO. Make me a value proposition instead of trying to leverage my emotions alone.

I don't want your personal information, you're not in the audience I target, and that's ok.

That's some impressive circular logic. I guess this product must be really good looking since it's so hard to see.

Please don't pile on. You had a good original point to make but you didn't have to be so aggressive, and certainly you shouldn't have turned nasty, even if you don't agree with how someone is approaching their project.

I realize that you were trying to be helpful but this isn't helpful.

So the audience you target is people who want a privacy-focused web browser, yet freely give their personal information to people who claim to not want their personal information?

Good luck. Is it Chromium based? What differentiates it from say Vivaldi or Brave?

and on a side note what does “Made in Europe” mean? Ireland and Moldavia have nothing in common....

Birth rates are about 1.1% in both countries. Life expectancy is above 70 years across the two. And you can use the Euro to buy goods and services everywhere. I think they're more than a little similar.
