Normally I'm very patient with new people posting on HackerNews, but this is almost ridiculous.
1) Your "PLEASE SIGN UP" full page flashover is so annoying. I don't know what to say other than I hate this :(.
2) The Infographic at the bottom is like a list of numbers with no real rhyme or reason (relative to the kinds of content we've come to expect from companies like priceonomics).
3) This is just a kind of lavish puff piece about how great Monaco is; there's not a lot of meat.
In short, I was actually hoping to learn a lot more about Monaco, but your harassing signup page and the content didn't work for me. Better luck next time, but please do try again because it seems like you want to produce good content. This kind of long-form stuff is exactly what you should be doing, just try to produce new insight instead of regurgitation and turn off the spam signup thingy when you post to HN.
- PhantomGremlin 13y agoFlashover, what's that? :) By default I browse the Interwebs using Firefox and NoScript. HN is quite readable w/o Javascript. And I didn't see any flashover when I read the article, because I invariably view unknown random websites with Javascript disabled by default. NoScript is my sine qua non for browsing. I'm not saying you should use Firefox. I'm not saying you should browse with Javascript off. To each his own. HOWEVER, if you have an easy way to rid yourself of some of the worst excesses of the web, then I think you've ceded at least some of the moral "high ground" by complaining rather than by simply using tools easily available to you.
- josh2600 13y agoI suppose that's true. That's really only one of my complaints though. I care much more about the content (or lack thereof) than I do about the annoying popup. Point taken though :).
