Ask HN: Review our startup - resu.me
resu.me (http://resu.me/) launched day before yesterday. Venturebeat covered our launch - http://venturebeat.com/2011/01/25/resu-me/.
A short snippet about resu.me - resu.me is a career networking platform for college grads/young professionals. resu.me uses semantic web and machine learning to match users with jobs better and faster. resu.me provides a set of awesome tools (RSS reader, Portfolio Wall, Blog/code post tool, Job aggregation and some more) that lets one quickly build a meaningful resume/network and land that dream job. resu.me is the one resume to rule them all :)
We'd love to hear your feedback/thoughts/suggestions. As a token of gratitude to HNers, we'll give a 2 letter http://xy.resu.me/ account (FCFS, if not already taken). Just indicate your current resu.me URL and your desired 2 letter resu.me URL.

- avree 16y agoYou should consider some serious design review. You want to appeal to young users, and yet your website is reminiscent of a site from the early 2000's.
- karthikm 16y agoWe are working on a redesign. Would you have any recommendations for good designers/design houses?
- avree 16y agoIt depends on how much you're looking to spend, and where you are located. Is it important for your graphic designer to be in-house? Good graphic designers I know charge up to $250/hour... Some of the more average ones will do $50-100/hour (especially if they like the idea.)
- iamdave 16y agoI'd really like to see a sample completed resume, a lot of the "recently viewed" profiles are just empty from people signing up to see how it works, it seems.
- karthikm 16y agotry this - http://nivedithaa.resu.me/ http://nivedithaa.resu.me/
- iamdave 16y agoOutstanding, thanks!
- karthikm 16y agothe page actually will show a couple of more tabs if you are signed in .. like the RSS reader, job aggregator
- atgm 16y agoI think that would-be users should be shown a comprehensive experience without having to sign in; if things don't work when they first go to the site, then they probably won't go back...
- karthikm 16y agosome features are specific to the users and hence they need to sign in .. would a demo video work instead?
- atgm 16y agoIf there are features that don't work without signing in, then I think that unregistered users shouldn't be able to see them UNTIL they sign in. You can list them in a feature list or something, but don't make them available as links for someone to click on and not see anything in. For example, if you don't sign into facebook, you can't see a wall or profile or anything, but if you sign in, everything is available.
