You can share your feelings, stress, and anxiety! More features are coming on. I would like to get some feedback on it.

The site isn't mobile-friendly at the moment. Please use a desktop browser for time-being, we are planning to improve frontend over the weekend

I assumed this would be more personal. People expressing anger, depression, etc. This seems to be rants about things they find mildly annoying. Not sure if the site wants or will encourage/enforce one or the others.

Yikes. I get not supporting mobile for now, but what about people who like to use little browser windows like me? Doesn't seem to be responsive at all.

chuck signup all together, u'll get more engagement. Signup is a hassle.

I found signup and initial use to be quick and easy - no email or confirmation, etc.

The output does not respect carriage returns / newlines ... so while this HN post has multiple paragraphs, a similar input at "Shout It" would have this all run together with no newlines...

For some reason this site has gone out of its way to make reading more difficult by removing scroll momentum. As a result it takes quite a lot of effort just to read a few of these.

Agh! Same thing happens to every anonymous chat app on show HN. It degraded into “your mum lolz” and “<a href...>” etc.

Aside from the large signup box, the “shouts” tend to just be gibberish for me. Is the site currently being hacked?

Slight UI nitpick: On narrow screens (<800px), the signup part of the screen is cut off. There is a scroll bar but it doesn't work as intended.

It's too bad "I'll Scream Your Tweets" never took off
