On: Show HN: Subvocal – Talk to your computer without making noise

One thing you might consider is actually telling people what it is on the homepage. Took me a fair bit of work to understand that this is effectively a pair of smart glasses.

Maybe I could have figured that out from the video but for folks who can’t watch the video it’s quite hard to discover what you’re building.

100%, I didn’t watch video or hit reserve button so didn’t realise this was a pair of glasses until I read the text on the HN post

For some reason, this is 80% of github repos I come across as well. I really wonder how this can be such a blind spot.

Could it be a simple lack of empathy?

I think it’s even simpler, I think it’s just folks so excited about what they’re building that they forget that no-one else is spending 16 hours a day thinking about it, and it just gets missed.

+1 to this
