Lots of critics in this thread! How many bothered watching the video down at the bottom? Up the ante and make another demo video with the heaviest phone you can get your hands on.
Hi thanks for the support! I had never been on the other side of HN's harshness but I can tell you that although a big part the thread it pretty critical, it is in fact very helpful to know where we can improve, it's great to have feedback!
I didn't post earlier in this thread, but I think my comments can be helpful.
I don't think there is a design issue. The confusing aspect is that the GGP referred to "watching the video at the bottom" instead of "watching the video" (by clicking the 'video' link).
Like the GP, I didn't realize that the page scrolls, but that didn't stop me from seeing any of the content since clicking the 'video' link scrolls the page for you.
Although, if you want people to scroll the page without clicking links, you should show something visually (beyond the really thin scrollbar I see on my computer) that indicates it is scrollable. (Maybe you'll get more people consuming content that way vs. clicking links.)
