Checks Before Launching Your Website
- pg 18y agoI should just add something for Smashing Magazine headlines that strips off the initial number+adjective.
- billydean 18y agoCan you just add something that kills all headlines that have an initial number+adjective? I'd really hate for HN to become http://delicious.com/popular http://delicious.com/popular.

- rms 18y agoIt's really amazing (though I guess it shouldn't be surprising) that the saturation there is approaching 100%.
- pg 18y agoIt's because Delicious is something people use to save things, and anything in the form of a list is something that seems like it ought to be kept. You can make any essay seem like a reference work by recasting it as a numbered list. Delicious/popular was better before writers started intentionally gaming it by doing that sort of thing.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoDamn, I was hoping this meant: Receive checks ($$) before you even launch your website!
- whatusername 18y agohttp://news.ycombinator.com/apply http://news.ycombinator.com/apply Receive $10K before you launch.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoBeen there, done that. Apply, I mean. :)

- mcav 18y agoIn their defense, these tips are useful.
- Everest 18y agoInteresting that the checklist only deals with optimizing and performance in a very cursory manner. Doubly interesting that no one here ranted about that considering the obsession with performance among the HN crowd.
- DanHulton 18y agoFrankly, having performance problems is about the best problem I could have, on launching a new website. Since most of us won't have enough customers to bring these problems to light, time spent worrying overmuch about performance at this stage in the game is time that could have been spent getting more customers. And honestly, time wasted.
