On: A YC for world-changers

[bprater]

I don't even get what the site is for. Folks, if you are designing a site, make it obvious in 3 seconds what the point is.

This is the greatest failing in 95% of the sites I visit.

Uhhh, it's a blog...? Ring any bells? Used by people to produce content, share ideas, etc...

[ph0rque → bprater]

well, this particular page is a blog.

That wasn't obvious to me at first either. I checked the url and saw it. Presentation is HUGE.

On top of this, your service, so far, consists of me entering my email address. I think I'm doing YOU a service if I comply. Not sure why I should care yet though... Like I said, presentation is huge.

Work on making me (and everyone else) excited about what you're doing. And, since we're on the topic, the blog is arranged oddly. It wasn't obvious to me that the huge black text saying 'A Y COMBINATOR TO CHANGE THE WORLD' was merely a blog entry title and not the title of the page.

Sorry, my bad... but this isn't my web app. I saw it was a blog from the link url, when I read it originally, so I didn't have that confusion.

Nobody is blaming you dude. Just making a general observation.

Ditto on having no idea that it was a blog or what the 'point was'

ahh found it, scrolling halfway down the page:

"What We Do

MutatioMundus does seed funding for startups that are going to radically change the world in a positive way. Seed funding is the earliest stage of venture funding. It will pay your expenses, research and development, and prototype development while you’re getting started."

very interesting, this needs to be more obvious!
