For someone with no dev experience it's clean and looks decent, if it is a bit plain. Using google fonts can go a long way to make a minimalist site look better

For someone with no dev experience it's clean and looks decent, if it is a bit plain. Using google fonts can go a long way to make a minimalist site look better. Take what I am about to say with a grain of salt, but... I have to ask what are you selling people, or why are they coming to your site? Who is your target audience? Having hung around hacker news long enough, it appears that most of the links you have posted are very familiar because they've been on hacker news before. If you are appealing to those who don't typically read hacker news then maybe you have a chance, but who are those people and how are you going to reach them? If you are appealing to hacker news readers I don't know why I am going to go to your site as opposed to hacker news. Are you going to create more compelling content or are you curating content? ALSO one more thing - you have some links under HOW TO VIDEOS and select javascript, but the first 4 links are for Java. Java != Javascript. If you are going to provide tutorial info you need to be a credible.

Hi! The initial idea for the site is to help anyone interested in learning more about startups/entrepreneurship be able to do so. Instead of posting "new news" I wanted to focus more on curating educational articles, videos, and tutorials from around the web. So I definitely wanted the site to be more about curation vs. producing new content. I really appreciate your feedback, some of the best I've received anywhere!

  Fix the java vs. javascript thing, credibility is very important. I have not looked at your whole site but you may need to do some research to make sure you have your content properly organized under the right category. Think about who your target audience is, I don't think you have that determined just yet. Once you get that down figure out how you are going to get them to your site.
