To be perfectly honest, I like the -idea- of Poyozo, but is that all
it is right now? After installing the extension, nothing happens
immediately. In order to do anything I have to open my Add-Ons list,
select, Poyozo, choose Options, and set it up. Once I set up all my
information it appears to save just fine. Is that the end of it?

There are two tabs at the top of that options menu; Open Poyozo and
Open Editor. Are those implemented yet? When I click those I get a new
Firefox window that is completely blank. Right now this is a program
that captures all of my data, but does nothing with it.

I don't mean to come off as harsh, but I just want to know if this is
a problem with my installation of the extension, or if this is just
very much is alpha still and I'll have to wait before I can use it.

(Some sort of video showing how to use the extension would be
extremely helpful.)

That said- Great idea, man. I hope it goes far because people would
really use this.

Thanks for your feedback!

Poyozo is a research prototype created by a few students / recent
graduates. We are seeking funding via kickstarter ( http://kck.st/di5yYu
) to turn our prototype into a version that works well and to make it
our full time project. As you have noticed, it needs major development
work to fix bugs, improve performance and to iterate on the UI. (as
well as to make some tutorial videos).

Ways you can help:
- let us know what version of Firefox and OS you are using. 'Open
poyozo' and 'open editor' are both implemented-- and should work.
- let us know if any of the website text was confusing or unclear
- what would you imagine using this data for?

Also, the 'feeder' page should popup the 1st time you install Poyozo
to help setup. I'll look into why this is not happening.

thanks for your patience and support
