Greetings, friends!
Inspired by the post “
What is GOOZZY? "
I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that there is such a service for a long time in RuNet. And yes, it is open and will not ask you for an invite.
This service is called "
Sayter ", apparently because it is closely connected with the sites. Honestly, I did not stand in line for an invite to GOOZZY, so correct me if I make a mistake in some technical issues. Sayter provides a site discussion service: comments, reviews, communication. Unlike Goozzy, commenting takes place on the Discussion Panel and I like it more.
Firstly, having a standard “forum” comment feed you can always understand the essence of what is happening, and it’s quite difficult to figure out a bunch of stickers. And if you want not just to snatch a couple of phrases from the general stream of thoughts, but really to find out what the discussion is about, then you will have to look at the dates of the messages and look for the next / previous one. Although in such a mess and there can be no discussion, and just short cries.

Secondly, sticking a sticker to a particular letter / point on the screen only as a first approximation seems like an interesting idea, but what if you look at it? There are very few pages in RuNet, where on the same coordinates there is constant content on any screen in any browser. It turns out that this is such a "pop" fenichka, which does not bring any good.
And once again I want to return to Saiter. He certainly has a lot of shortcomings and I even communicated with them at the expense of their design (this is my design desire - to make the Internet more beautiful). And this communication with the developers showed that this is all due to the small interest in the project. Some social ideas from developers are very cool and will close all the minuses, you just need to push the service to the masses.
It seems that the projects have completely different budgets. Sayter looks like a development enthusiast, whereas Goozzy is like a startup that is designed to make money. It resembles a century-old software war - a functional OpenSource against beautiful ShareWare.
PS I wanted to put the topic in Crazy IT, but I don’t have enough karma.
