- makeee 16y agoI know of two active stackexchange sites for startups: http://startups.com http://startups.com and http://answers.onstartups.com http://answers.onstartups.com To compete I think you'll need a better design and really good content. Just seeing one "test questions" is not a good first impression. Good luck!
- adrianwaj 16y agoWhat do think about the idea of pivoting, and making it a board to display YC/Seedcamp-like questionnaires?
- breakupsarehard 16y agoi think...you have a ways to go.
- makeee 16y agoThe current design is going to turn people away. The kind of people who would use a startup, seedcamp, etc questions site are the kind of people that expect good design and UI. It needs a lot of work. What about turning it into a boating questions site?
- adrianwaj 16y agoSimplicity is not stupidity. This board is pretty basic too. Q&A is a crowded space.
- cb33 16y agoGreat, yet another Q&A site... I would recommend asking yourself: What does Revboat offer that other Q&A sites fall short on? Also, you NEED to hire a designer. The current design is offensive to the eyes.
- adrianwaj 16y agohmm, do you find the basic http://www.question2answer.org/qa/ http://www.question2answer.org/qa/ theme as bad? What do the other ones not offer? I like the idea of having due-diligence on startup questions... like what YC partners do..
- cb33 16y agoFirst of all, build a custom theme. Downloading a pre-built Q&A PHP script and throwing it up on your server takes virtually no skill/work and visitors can sense this lack of effort within milliseconds of the first page loading... Also, how is your site better than the YC area of Quora, for example?
- adrianwaj 16y agoIf you want to work on it, drop me an email. What's the YC area of Quora?
- cb33 16y agoI don't have your email... you can contact me through my site if you'd like: http://connorbaskauskas.com http://connorbaskauskas.com. http://www.quora.com/Y-Combinator http://www.quora.com/Y-Combinator
