This looks very nice which leads me to a somewhat tangential question: how is it that the photography on these sites is so gorgeous?
This is just supposed to be stuff from one's closet. I fancy myself as handy with a DSLR and even I wonder if I'd be taking such classy DOF-y Bokeh-y pics of watches and shoes to post on (an admittedly much niftier version of) Craigslist?
Just imagine what a poorer impression this site would make if the pics actually were like what you'd find on Craigslist? Is the front page curated like heck or what?
- Game_Ender 15y agoThe front page looks curated and static, so it's no surprise they found the best looking items to put up there.
- fookyong 15y agoLove the healthy skepticism! I think I just got lucky with the first batch of users. The homepage is not curated. Everything is just in chronological order of upload. You raise a good point though, crappier pictures would definitely lower the first impression and if/when I achieve mass with this project then curation of some sort will have to factor into the homepage products.
- raghus 15y agoThanks for replying. I am not so much skeptical as I am jealous :-) Anyway, I wish you all luck in hitting critical mass soon - I've requested an invite myself (email is in my HN profile) and if you can speed up my request to join, I'll be happy to post some stuff I've got and send you feedback on the process. Good luck!
