Hey HN, we've noticed that people are starting to understand how valuable design is these days - in order to make great products, design is arguably as important as engineering. Like HN-er @shl says, "everyone in a company needs to learn design literacy" (http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669189/pinterests-founding-designer-shares-his-dead-simple-design-philosophy http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669189/pinterests-founding-desi...). The problem is, we haven't yet found a straightforward way to learn how to become a better designer.
We built a simple product to address this, based on one core principle: the best way to learn design is by doing projects that force you to master the concepts, while allowing you to practice your creativity.
We'll start sending out the first project emails in a couple weeks, so sign up and save a spot! We'd love any and all feedback about this. Thanks!
- jstanley 14y agoAny idea if the sign up is broken?
- phallstrom 14y agoIt is. Open up a web inspector and it's returning 500 server error.
- hv23 14y agoHey guys-- this is terrible, we were not expecting this much traffic. Signups are indeed working, we're pushing a quick fix to address the issue. (if you already signed up, you don't have to enter your email again)
- huma 14y agoCan you reveal the traffic figures and your server spec?
- jerrya 14y agoUh, clicking "Sign Up" appears to do nothing on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Worse: it looks terrible in IE (where finally, it yields a 500)
- dhyasama 14y agoAs others have stated, the signup form doesn't work. I see a 500 response. Looks like there isn't an action set on the form. Hope that helps.
- sopooneo 14y agoAnd this is where engineering is important.
