Ask HN: Please review my webapp: This or That
- mediaman 17y agoIt would be nice to be able to vote without clicking on a specific category.
- 27182818284 17y agoShould be able to vote without going to a separate sub-page. Also, it is kinda boring and just too much of a word blur for my tastes. It kinda has also already been done in a way by sites like http://www.googlefight.com/ http://www.googlefight.com/
- kbrower 17y agoVoting from the listing pages is a great idea
- alexsolo 17y agoYes, I agree. What I would do is I would make sure that all the "or"s on the page line up. Then, I would change each line from being one link to being 2 links, so that the "this" and "that" are both links; clicking on one of them would result in voting for it. Once you vote, you can turn off the voting for that line (via js).
- catone 17y agoI get an Internal Server error on any link I click. But to be honest, I probably wouldn't have even bothered trying to click if I hadn't visited the page with the specific intent of giving the app a try to review it for you. It's just way too much text, with no real rhyme or reason for why it's presented the way it is, and no real incentive to do anything but close the browser. I agree with mediaman as well: voting should be possible without need to click through -- think of another incentive to get people to click through (like commenting/debating the merits of the head to head).

- amalcon 17y ago500 Internal Server Error when I try to vote either way on anything. It does not appear to count the vote. I am not accepting cookies (except from explicitly allowed sites); this might be related. If so, the resulting behavior should be something other than 500'ing.
- kbrower 17y agoNice catch. thanks
- mahmud 17y agonice first web app. you will be contending with the myriad of "hot or not" type clones that largely cater to the unmonetizable idling office worker or bored-to-tears slacker. cheers!
- dmix 17y agoJytes been doing this for a few years: http://jyte.com/ http://jyte.com/
- jack7890 17y agoIt currently lets you choose between "turd" and "poo". Might want to add something to flag submissions.
- lr 17y agoSlap tipjoy on it, i'll give it a tip!
- jcromartie 17y agoI am addicted already! Great simple concept. Others' ideas about the plainness and being able to vote without going to the sub-page are spot-on though.
- mynameishere 17y agoCan anyone explain the point of this?
- sp332 17y agoNope, there is no point. But I like it anyways!
- ruchi 17y agoThere is a typo. Separated is spelled wrong next to "Add Categories" button.
- aristus 17y agoRandomize the left and rightness of the choices, and make the "or" centered (make it a 3-column table). Otherwise you will have heavy right-hand bias in the voting.
- deutronium 17y agoIt seems to me to be a little difficult to see whether 'a' or 'b' is winning, with the vote number in grey. Maybe the text size could increase with votes.
- intregus 17y agoThis reminds me a bit of http://you-vs-me.com http://you-vs-me.com
- ironkeith 17y ago... but not as good.
- johns 17y agoDon't show vote totals before people vote if you want honest votes.
- jerryji 17y agoAnd mine -- http://collectivesys.com http://collectivesys.com It might not be instantly obvious that comparison can be done, so here's one example -- http://collectivesys.com/item/compare/KSrJ1hb2c9wx%3BvLgQgEe6OMrM http://collectivesys.com/item/compare/KSrJ1hb2c9wx%3BvLgQgEe...
