Ask HN: Looking for comments on my new site release
I've been a member here for as long as I've worked on this project and I always said I would ask HN what they though of my site or what I could improve on. From my own research I think that the online dating arena has room for more players. The users never have just one account and tend to cycle through multiple sites in kind of a circle of life. Anyway without further ado the site is at DiveIntoThePool.com
I'm starting out with a few other sites turning all ads over to this new venture and a small advertising budget. I'll be sure to blog the process and post anything I find very HNish
Thanks!
- SwellJoe 17y agoNot the nicest design I've ever seen. But, I guess Plenty of Fish does very well on similarly ugly design. Maybe a case of worse is better.
- dmix 17y agoThe design is a step below PlentyofFish (ASP as well - a pattern?), but just because its bad doesn't make it effective. I'd at least have featured members who happen to be good looking - yet still normal - on the front instead of just new members.
- sosuke 17y agoGood idea for featured members, might make the first page a little nicer looking. Thanks for the feedback!
- sidmitra 17y agoYup, i think you have design issues. All blue kind of hurts the eye. I think that should be your first priority for a site dealing with dating. I haven't checked it out by signing up. But usually sites like these turn out to be feature greedy and implement lots of things like twitter etc etc. I think it might serve you well to define what kind of audience you would like. Flork.com is an excellent example, with its minimal design, and an interesting crowd.
