Congrats on launching!
One small UI suggestion: put thumbs-up on the right and thumbs-down on the left. About 90% of the population is right handed and the word "sinister" originates from the Latin word for "left" [1]. Generally speaking, people associate the right side with good and the left side with bad. :)

- par 15y agoI came here to say this. Thumbs up on right, thumbs down on left. And, nice work!! The site looks great.
- myoder 15y agoI've never heard the sinister meaning! Truth be told, we originally had the buttons reversed, but our customer development group consistently said it should be on the left. I have two theories for why: My far out theory: Microsoft's dialog boxes always had the OK button on the left and Cancel on the right. My sane theory: People read left to right, and they think "Yes or No." You rarely hear people say, "No or Yes."
- myoder 15y agoOh, forgot one important thing: thank you for the kind words!
