Ask HN: Please review my project
Hi Everyone,
This is the first time that I've submitted anything here, but I read HN daily. I just launched a website that helps people organize plans, post events and share experiences.
http://www.plangr.com
Briefly: I am a web developer and designer. The website came from a personal needs, I remember when I went to visit my uncle in Frankfurt and I wanted to play basketball but I couldn’t, I didn't know anybody their beside my uncle. At that time I thought about a website that could help people, not only organize their own plans, but also share and experience them with other people having same tastes.
So, after several months of work, time to get some feedbacks just arrived, and this is why i am sending you this post.
As excited as I am about finally getting to share plans ans events in my city and new cities, I am even more excited to see what our friends on HN can do!
Mourad

- jfoucher 15y agoHi Mourad, - make the text on home pagereal text, not images - Get someone to review the copy, there are a few mistakes and weird wordings - Maybe show some different places on the maps - when I search for something when notlogged in, I arrive at some sort of empty results page. Maybe hide the search box when I'm not logged in?
- mourad 15y agothank you for your reply!
- SiliconAlley 15y agoRelatedly, don't underestimate the contribution that quality typography makes to a sites perceived professionalism. I'd play around with some non-user-agent typefaces (using @font-face) for you homepage copy and links. Off the top of my head, looking at the site, maybe a Museo font (see: http://www.trybloc.com http://www.trybloc.com -- no affiliation, but they use the font for their heading).
- mourad 15y agothank you for your comment, I will try to look for a more convenient font.

- chadzawistowski 15y agoThe left and right arrows feel too low. I expected them to be more in line with the Feedback tab on the right.
- mourad 15y agodone, thank you.
- pdelgallego 15y agoThe activation email said: Activate account at example.com: http://example.com/accounts/activate/xxxx Instead of something like Activate account at plangr.com: http://www.plangr.com/accounts/activate/xxxx

- iamds 15y agoIt won't let me sign up. It has a banner at the top saying "Enter valid information" and "full name:" is red, but I have no idea what's wrong with my name.
- mourad 15y agoHi iamds, The error message isn't enough clear, the name should be at least 4 characters. Sorry again.
