Nice look, though my first thought was, "Oh, it's just News.YC with a sweet logo." Has some cool features that News.YC doesn't, but also seems a bit too complicated. Do you intend to compete with News.YC, or try to gather a different user base, or none of the above?
- mdolon 19y agoWell, I'd like to gather a similar user base to sites like GoBigNetwork (.com) and Vator.tv, while encouraging the great discussions had at places like news.yc and Reddit. Just a place to showcase your companies, write about any of your experiences and have thoughtful discussions. Which features do you think are somewhat complicated? I know I started off with a lot of features (which may not have been too wise), but I tried to keep it as simple as possible. That said, I am very, very open to suggestions and will mold the site around the community, not the other way around.
- benhoyt 19y agoI guess it just seemed like quite a lot was going on right on the home page -- too much for me to get my head around all at once. It's possible you're trying to achieve too much: discussions/comments like News.YC, longer articles, featured member pages, job openings, generic wiki, etc. Perhaps not; maybe just simplifying the home page a bit would help my perception.
