On: Show HN: Simon.Says.do – easy way to dispatch tasks to 1 to many

[jeffclark]

While I appreciate a minimalist homepage/landing page/whatever, it would probably be a good idea to state what problem this product solves.

Or even what it does.

To get thing done quickly by 1 or large groups of people. It's inspired by what I did as a firefighter dispatching trucks & teams to emergencies.

Explaining it on the homepage would be better :). I only figured it out through context of looking at the Android App's screen shots.

New task assigned to ourselves, thx!

I second this. I understood what it does, but the why? (benefit) is not clear.

[harscoat → c1sc0]

Think of it as my Fireman "Golf11" channel that was giving us orders that we could fulfill or reject (bcs busy). A civilian channel complementary to 911 would be helpful in "war time" (Sandy) or in peace time ("bake some cakes for School party")
