Best polling/quizzing tool that I know of, can't wait to see how they develop this year.

11y agoHN ↗

Looks interesting. Just signed up - the design immediately grabs me, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can produce.

11y agoHN ↗

Thanks so much - we really appreciate it!

And any feedback - about the good, the bad, and (hopefully very little of) the ugly - we'd love to hear about it.

I have had a lot of fun - and success - using riddle for various content and contact needs. Good stuff - quick & easy!

11y agoHN ↗

Woohoo! We like to hear that... any features you'd suggest or things we could do better?

11y agoHN ↗

Hey Mike thanks for the offer. I'll put a list together on some ideas - but overall really like the tool

11y agoHN ↗

They are super easy tools for any social media manager who needs to build quick polls & quizzes - definitely worth checking out!

11y agoHN ↗

Really easy to use for creating quick quizzes.

11y agoHN ↗

Thanks - we'd love to get any ideas on what you think we could improve if you've got a sec to share? :)

11y agoHN ↗

Indeed. I'm a bit surprised that this company is 'savvy' enough to post to and 'engage' with Hacker News, and yet not smart enough to realize that being so blatantly obvious in posting fake comments is a surefire way to attract the disapproval of that same community.

Or am I underestimating how mainstream HN has become?

(of course there's still the possibility that these comments are actually genuine, however unlikely. In that case my apologies for making the wrong assumptions.)

11y agoHN ↗

Well - it sounds like all these comments are from actual users... but TBH - the positive comments are great, but we’re much more interested in the constructive (and blunt) feedback HN is known for… any thoughts?

11y agoHN ↗

They may be from actual users of your program, but votes and comments here need mostly to be by actual users of HN.

Votes and comments for promotional reasons are against HN's rules and tend to get accounts and sites banned. We want people to participate because they find a story intellectually interesting, not because they or a friend have something to promote. It's totally fine to post your own stuff, but after that, the HN community needs to drive.

11y agoHN ↗

At what point do I stop being offended that you are saying my comments are fake?!

11y agoHN ↗

Being offended is understandable if you are a real user and just really excited about this project.

But then the underlying problem is that all these comments seem fake, which clearly indicates they don't offer any value and only hurt the product. So I'd say if you really love riddle.com, either just upvote the post, or add something meaningful to the conversation :-).

11y agoHN ↗

This is so good, thank you for sharing this here

11y agoHN ↗

This has been a great help with driving traffic to my Kickstarter campaign. I was amazed how simple and fun creating engaging content can be!

11y agoHN ↗

Riddle is so simple. The star of it all, the UX.
