Ask HN: Evaluate my side project please?
I've been working on a side project lately and I'd love to get some basic feedback and marketing advice - randomfreeapp.com.
1. How do you feel about the page? Is it intuitive? What would you change?
2. How would you market it/drive traffic?

- justliving 15y agokind of stumbleupon for free apps? Nice idea! Perhaps you should make is clearer what exactly it is all about :-) Good luck!
- gspyrou 15y agoSome ideas : 1.Add some kind of copy that describes what the site is doing 2.Include free apps for WindowsPhone and Blackberry
- skadamat 15y agoHave some kinda cool HTML5 transition when you hit the next button. The site itself is just a cool site, so people expect nice looking animations. Instead of generating a random integer and passing it in as an 'id' in your php script, you should look into keeping everything static except the main box itself. To do this, you need to use JavaScript (preferably jQuery, also look into CoffeeScript) Keep the logo at the top and the 2 tiles at the bottom for social media the same. Don't make the site reload everytime you hit 'next'. Design-wise, it's great. Very clean and simple, and the logo's cool.
- jamifsud 15y agoThe ability to go back would be nice, I got a bit click happy and accidentally missed something that looked cool at a first glance.
- aorshan 15y agoSame here. I think a back button would help a lot.
- ctb9 15y ago1. looks great. I would suggest fixing the next button vertically so that it doesn't get pushed down by apps with long descriptions.
- pcharles 15y ago1. There should be a blurb about the site. But focus on the 'Why' and not the other W's. 2. Beef up on SEO and spread the word on other sites, blogs
- heynk 15y agoI'd consider applying CSS border-radius to all of the app icon images. Some of them have a beveled edge and the square edge, which looks a little less proffesional.
