Comment on Show HN: Indiebackers – Back indie projects and earn rewards

Comments

It's a cool idea! I'm guessing you didn't expect to hit front-page, as unfortunately the bounce rate will be high right now will no content.

Some feedback:

- Personally I think The GIF's on https://indiebackers.dev/learn make it look unprofessional. There's other ways to add some excitement to that page without just posting several generic meme's.

- Your only project has typo on sub-heading "Pitch innovative ideas >togehter< with sweet deals in turn for collaboration."

I find it hard to process a text when there is a moving .gif next to it. I had to cover it with my hand to read it. That jumping "Learn more->" button also made reading the text above it weirdly difficult - and that is probably the most important text on the page.

Please take this as a very "soft criticism" because this might be just some peculiarity of my perception.

This is exactly what the prefers reduced motion hint is for. I wished more sites honored it where appropriate.

Few do, sadly. And complaining about it on hn might even get you belittled and down voted.

And gifs never get blocked by it, so i use an extra extension for that.

Unfortunately not. But I am glad for the input I've received so far. Thanks for telling me. I thought the GIF's would add a laughter or create a funny or playful tone.
