If you go to https://fibery.io you get a different take on this each time:

- https://fibery.io/anxiety

- https://fibery.io/connect

- https://fibery.io/build

- https://fibery.io/freedom

I love the anxiety version, it's hilarious. Kinda like Phabricator website

Feedback for the creators: (1) Delete /anxiety ASAP. I suspect this was supposed to be humor, but it doesn't work. (2) Instead of ceding your first impression to chance, talk to people and figure out what messages/benefits resonate most with potential users. Feature those on your home page.

I thought it was pretty funny, but I suppose humor is subjective like that.

It is. But I actually thought the entire website was fake and left.

And no offence but when I am handing over my money and company data I am not looking for humour.

Yet, it does get to HN frontpage almost every quarter...

In my experience B2B services are more successful when they are more serious. While I find this website funny, it doesn't give me enough arsenal to sell it to my team/manager/company. The best SaaS products have clear value props and resonate with a problem you're currently having. Sure I'll share this with my teammates bc it's funny but we'll hardly take it seriously.

The other day I complained on reddit about users deleting their own posts. It's really annoying. There was only one response, "You're overthinking it, man". Now it was me who was annoyed.

Time to pass this one on, I guess: You're overthinking it man.

There.

> You're overthinking it man.

Ha! Quite possibly, but it was a sincere attempt to help them improve the perception of their product, and I stand by the advice. In any case, I appreciate the feedback!

I can't figure out if this is an actual product, or a satirical website making fun of web startups.

There's a button at the bottom right of the page that restores the "boring site" aka the serious one

Last week's discussion, where the top comments were about how the site fails to effectively explain what the thing actually does.

And another from over a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21643683 comments after comments of folks walking away from the landing pages con-mused.

You can create an account, which shows a webpage.

Fibery shows a quantum entanglement Feynman diagram to explain how it works-- the whole site is brilliantly hilarious.

Kudos - I won’t remember a lot of the new products I’ve seen websites for, but I’ll remember this one! :)

If you watch the movie "The Game"... and stick with it until the end.... this is similar.... wtf?

Is this a spoof, or what?

mikewarot 5 years ago | |

Ok, so downvote away, but at least answer the question... what is this thing?

In 2 words.. Fibery is a no-code platform to create information infrastructure for an organization. Due to no-code flexibility the tool is process agnostic and can replace several specific tools and reduce costs.

Somewhere in the bowels of the site they say that Fibery is a Notion alternative. In that case, they should crib the far-superior and jargon-free way that Notion talks about themselves and the value of their product.
