Ask HN, what do you think about this teaser page?

Hello HN,

My team and me are working on a new project, and we created a teaser page for it that can be found at: http://teaser.waevio.com/

I am affraid I can't tell you too much about it at this point, but in this case that might be the point too.

The question would be - Can you please comment here, what do you think it's about? Also, is there enough to make you leave your email address in the box bellow? What is your general opinion about the page and what can we do to improve it so it could get better response?

Thanks for checking out this post and looking forward to your responses! :)

We are still trying to figure out the best way to promote our website and all help will be appreceated!

Having to click on that "?" to be told things like we can't reveal more is quite annoying. Why link to it in the first place then?

Also, while an element of mystery certainly works in some cases, it doesn't in this case for the simple reason that there is nothing that addresses anything about its utility for me.

In other words, why is becoming a "time mapster" even important? Why should I even care?

So I think focusing on just one page and having some more info on a) what time mapping is and b) what's in it for me would work much better.

And that is why I did not leave my email id.

Thanks for the reply! The original plan was to reveal more about our site on that additional link, where we will try to answer those questions that you mentioned and some others. For that matter, your reply is very valuable to me as it comfirmed that we would have to focus on that.

Personally - I don't think there are enough details for me to want to sign up (in fact, I didn't). I have no clue what your product or service does, I don't know if it will be compatible with the tools/systems I use.

I clicked on the question mark for more details - something I wouldn't have done normally, I just did it to provide you more feedback - and there was no helpful information there either.

Thank you for your feedback!

We'll work on improving the explaination, but the problem is that we don't want to reveal too much.

Obviously, we will have to explain it better, so we will look for just the right amount of info, that will feel comfortable for us at this stage and at the same time enough to intreague people.
