Ask HN: Please review my web app TheShyBot.com

I went out on a limb and made http://www.theshybot.com/ Is it fun?



Things I like:

- I always design my apps (like http://sleepyti.me) around things that I personally have problems with. It looks like that's what you've done with TheShyBot.com

- It's a cool idea in general, and I think (especially from the tech-savvy geek crowd) that you could definitely find a user base.

What I don't like, however:

- Having to send an email is archaic, and is something I personally will pretty much never do for a service. So because of that, I'm not really even sure what kind of advice TheShyBot would dole out.

- The site could use some UI improvements, and personally I would rewrite it as an actual webapp. Think along the lines of (excuse my French) http://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com -- that is, go to the URL and have a random conversation suggestion already ready to go.

Looks like a great start, good luck with it!
