This is very useful and thoughtful feedback - thank you.

Having just deployed this app up last week, I am experimenting with different ways to describe it. I was unsure of the "introvert" tact to begin with, and am now certain it is not the best choice.

Rather than misunderstanding introversion (as you claim I do simply from reading an experimental tag line for a web app), it is more likely that I failed at capturing the essence of the product in the tag line. There is plenty of successful marketing copy that uses words differently than a thoughtful definition would dictate.

I think the wise choice is to remove both notions of blogging and introversion from the description, and focus more on the process of writing. My goal is to create a place to write on the web that feels offstage from the large social networks that I believe extroverts thrive on.

Good point. There is also an email option, and none of your twitter information is public on the site, only a username you choose (which defaults to your twitter handle if you use twitter auth). Still, you're right that the signup process could feel more private by clearly displaying other authentication options.

So goes disruption.
jorganisak··on Ask HN: Thoughts on Meteor.js?
If you are familiar with front-end JS frameworks like Backbone/Ember/Angular, then learning Meteor is as simple as a read through the docs and building a sample app.

If not, then learning Meteor would be a great way to become familiar with JS frameworks, and make the move to more complex frameworks (Angular FTW!) in the future.

Either way, awesome tool!

jorganisak··on Ask HN: Why the Microsoft hate?
I agree. Even the biggest Apple fanboys should keep an open mind towards at least reading the reviews of other products. Only competition (even if you deem it inferior competition) can give rise to disruptive technology.

Any plans to offer security rules similar to Firebase? Really love what you're doing but that's a deal-breaker for me unfortunately..
