Feedback on Tool I Created?
Hey- I've been working on a minimalist tool called QuickPoint — it’s a minimal tool for quick text-first creation and sharing structured thoughts
https://quickpoint.me
But rather than push a vision, I’m here to learn what people actually need. I built a rough prototype and are watching closely how (or if) people use it.
I’d love your honest feedback: Please feel free to tinker about- and say whatever comes to mind. If you need to structure your feedback - I put some questions below. However- I'd rather just hear anything you have to say.
Does it feel like it solves anything you’d do in real life? What’s your first instinct about what this tool is for? What’s good and what's missing or broken in the concept itself?
Not trying to pitch- just trying to listen. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
I don’t understand what it is at first glance.
“Frictionless context switching” doesn’t really mean anything to me.
Spending a bit of time filling in the blanks, it appears it’s a presentation tool where you write slides via code?
You’re up against much more polished Markdown-based competition like iAPresenter, so you need to make the case for why markdown isn’t enough and a more expressive language is needed.
I tried the demo, but it's actually a tutorial. I got bored and pressed the X. (This happens most of the times. In many sites I had to look for the tutorial and take it later.) In this case, if I close the tutorial the page goes back to the login screen. I'd like to play with the tool for a while, perhaps disable save of close it after 5 minutes or use other restriction.
Fake edit: I can try it! Just one part. Just don't click the X. I still don't like that clicking the X close the whole project. Perhaps add a confirmation.
You could have posted this as a Show HN, would've fit perfectly there.

Nope, because I have no clue what it is. Powerpoint alternative?
The initial colors threw me off - not super accessible. I'm also not sure what the purpose of the tool is. Who is your target audience?
Can you explain briefly what it should do? I Can't understand from the website either
Love the approach of asking for brutally honest feedback, no other way to PMF.
Who is this for?
