The Reply Option is also bad in burn note.

Look at G Mail.

All is clear.
Juanita send a message.
It is very clear what action I must take to reply to her.
I must click a button  .

Now look  at burn note.

Since we  do not see any message at first...,it is not clear at all what is the mail on the top center of the page.
"Why the hell that E Mail is there ?" -Its the first thought.

How should be  : Message from  ppaul2014@gmail.com
Preferably the mail of the sender should be on the left.

In G Mail All the senders are on the left.
Why the HHHh66&####   is the E Mail of the sender in the top center of the page ?

Second error :

No instructions at all  about how to read the burn note. .
The idea of hovering the mouse over  a certain space is nice.., but  you need to tell the readers about  it.

Is that so difficult to grasp ?

5- Finally  it should be more clear  how one would read the message.

On top of message rectangle it should have an explanation in simple english  how to read the message.
A graphical explanation  would be welcomed. 
There are millions who are not native english speakers.

4- Self Destroy the burn notes in the recipient  E mail.

If you send a burn note to someone that person will receive    a message from burn note a BIG Burn Note symbol .

WTF.

I though was about being able to comunicate  in a stealth way so no one could grasp what kind of conversation was being  done.

To send secret messages   with a huge symbol ( SUPER SECRET ) to the recipient mail..,its not the best idea  to be stealthy.

But thats what burn note does.

Please send a fucking message with sender that does not call much atention such has administrator , or even the real   mail of the sender  (provided he does give it to BN ) .

But above all the messages to   peoples mails  should be  SELF DESTROYING MESSAGES .  Once read they should vanish after one hour or 2.


Final thought   : If  someone does receive nurn message  ,in order to read it..,the user  has to create account.

Another obstacle !!!!

3- Keep it simple  and with a layout people are used to.

Millions  use G Mail.
Why not  make a layout  not much different from  G Mail ?

This is not rocket science.

A TAB  for compose. 

A  tab  for mail Box , ( messages received and conversations ) .
 
 The messages not read could be in bold.


In the INBOX   tab  you might  have a list just of the messages   you received  in the last week only .

 A received message not yet read  could be in  bold like G Mail.

In the Inbox message  list it would be highlighted just  the first 4  letters of the mail  that send the message   , and the day and hour   conversation started.

From  :  Pedr......@gmail.com.
      Started : May 10. 10h 54 PM. ( USA eastern Time ).

In the server the wholle mail could be stored  . When people click to reply to the abbreviated mail..,the message would be send to the mail of the recipient.

Even if BN  profile got compromised  a user would not  acess to the real mails of the user.



No topics of the messages to keep things more private .

Favorite  mail tabs. I do not see  much need of that. After all the objective is privacy



2 tabs only :    COMPOSE AND INBOX.


At the most 3 : COMPOSE INBOX   CONTACTS.

(But  the full display  of contacts does defeat the very purpose of burn note I guess  )

2- message tab is not much better either. The same WTF   names, e mails. Still no clue about how to send or read a received a burn  note. The TAB changed .., but besides that nothing much.
Nothing is really obvious in this layout.
Layout is just a black board that does leave the new users in the dark.
If  a friend does visit   BN for the first time , nothing is really obvious.

I would have to explain everything.

 3- The only tab that one could grasp what to do in it is the profile tab.

I really did enjoy  the idea of a  self destroying  message service . In many parts of the world  people  are not free  and they can get in trouble because what they write , their ideas  and thoughts. This is true  from countries from europe to asia.  In afghanistan , India, family honor is a paramount value and any woman or girl  caught  having  some kind of conversations can get in real trouble and that might mean death.

The idea how BN display  the messages  (preventing people from copying them )  , is really nice and cool.

The website  layout is just awful tough.  When we log in we are directed to a WTF  home page.

1- Homepage :

When we enter the home page , we just see some adresses and names.
WTF is that ?

There is no clue  what those names are and what could be done with them.!!!! no clue about how to send a burn note either
