Ask YC: Feedback on new TrackThis design/features

1 points by pb30 ↗ HN
My recent move from student to unemployed has given me time to completely rework one of my side projects.

Old site: http://www.usetrackthis.com New site: http://zend.usetrackthis.com (new design, email/SMS/Facebook tracking)

I'd appreciate any feedback on the new design or features. Thanks.

Note that the new site isn't totally live, so if you add any packages they won't be updated (yet).

Where's the tour / example "what this service looks like" page? I ask this partly because I dont have any packages to track, and also because I'd want to see what kind of stuff your service would tell me :)

Also, why do I have to register for an account for Email/SMS/RSS but not twitter? I like how twitter is encouraging developers not to have sign up forms.

I'll work on adding some examples.

I did consider email tracking w/o an account, but haven't yet implemented it. At least creating an account is fairly low friction due to OpenID.

what do you do if you dont have an OpenID account? (like me)

Check out the login page: http://zend.usetrackthis.com/session/login

You can use your Google, Yahoo, AOL, Facebook, MySpace or any OpenID (Wordpress, Blogger, etc). I'd imagine most people have at least one of those accounts.

I only have a Yahoo account.
