Ask HN: Rate my webapp
- villageidiot 18y agoI liked the clean design but I didn't understand why, after I logged in, I had a random link to a Forth programming website already stored in my links page. A little strange. The idea of only having 4 links per user is a good solution to the quotas imposed by Google App Engine, on which you are hosting this project but, from the user's perspective, this does not make the site very useful. It's your first Django project, so congrats on getting it up and running. Now, maybe you can add a Firefox toolbar or any number of other features that existing bookmarking services offer. Also, consider allowing users to have public and private bookmarks with tagging so that there is some interaction among the users on the site. Take a look at StumbleUpon as probably the most effective implementation of this type of service. You can learn a lot from their feature set. Then you need to think about how you can set yourself apart. Nice start, though.
- vorador 18y agoThe whole point is that by being able to save only four links, you'll be a little more picky about what you want to save. This webapp is not about saving bookmarks but about _really_ reading things. Btw, the forth link was supposed to be an easter egg ;)
- tdoggette 18y agoSo, it's an online bookmark manager that solves the problem of a long to-read list by... deleting the list?
- pedalpete 18y ago"problem is I don't have time to finish my reading at a stretch..." unfortunatly, this is where I stopped reading ;) Go for images or video rather than a paragraph of text. You didn't really grab my interest with so much text on the page, and nothing else.
