Ziki: Aborted Sign-Up [en]

[fr] Tentative avortée d'essayer Ziki, pour cause d'erreur 502 lors du sign up. En plus, formulaire à remplir trop long, ça ne m'encourage pas à ressayer demain...

Quick feedback about/for Ziki. I got an e-mail quite some time back inviting me to try it out. I discarded it at the time — the tone was a bit too perky and it almost made it sound spammish to me.

I tried to sign up just now because they are using coComment for their “latest comments” feature and I wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, sign up failed because of a 502 proxy error 🙁

It’s all the more unfortunate that sign-up process asks me to fill in a really long form with lots of mandatory info. On the first try my password wasn’t long enough, and I was really afraid I was going to have to fill part of the form in a second time, but all my valid info was preserved. But now, if I try and sign up again tomorrow, I know I’ll have that long form to fill in. What a turnoff.

Advice? Make sign-up minimal. Then encourage users to complete their profile.

  • Et alors, aujourd’hui?11.12.2025
    C’est 21h11, il me reste un poil de temps, même si je suis trop raide. Mais tant pis. Ecrire c’est important, et si j’attends toujours que les conditions soient bonnes, eh bien j’attends. Aujourd’hui, Oscar galope presque après retour de sa dose de gabapentine à son habituelle (33mg matin et soir). Je suis soulagée, car … Continue reading "Et alors, aujourd’hui?"
  • Fits and Starts02.12.2025
    Heavens, what happened to blogging after 8pm? There was a week there where I seemed on a roll. I was also managing the rest of my life. And the small slice of work. It felt like it was working out. And these days I’m just too exhausted for pretty much anything. I looked back to … Continue reading "Fits and Starts"
  • Can I Write a Quick Blog Post?16.11.2025
    This is often the question. In typical ADHD style, my difficulty getting started on something is only surpassed by my difficulty stopping something once it’s started. So, 9pm on Sunday night, tired tired tired, can I grab my keyboard and give you some news without still being up at midnight? I challenge myself. Mid-October, I … Continue reading "Can I Write a Quick Blog Post?"
  • Des “mini-podcasts” à écouter14.11.2025
    Après l’introduction d’hier (enfin à l’heure de publication, c’est avant-hier), venons-en au menu principal: une collection de podcasts en série limitée, type documentaire en x épisodes, surtout en anglais (parce qu’il y en a moins en français, tout simplement). A écouter, bien sûr. Je ne les ai pas mis dans un ordre particulier, juste comme … Continue reading "Des “mini-podcasts” à écouter"
  • Les podcasts et moi12.11.2025
    Les podcasts et moi c’est une longue, longue histoire. Pour la petite histoire, je connais personnellement (déjà à l’époque) une des personnes-clés impliquées dans l’invention de ce mode de distribution du contenu audio. Comme pour WordPress, Twitter ou Instagram, c’est marrant de voir ces médias ou plateformes qui sont si “grand public” aujourd’hui et de … Continue reading "Les podcasts et moi"
