Ask HN: Review my StartUp

3 points by reiz 13y ago

We just recently changed completely our landing page at http://www.versioneye.com. I would like to have feedback to that. If you look at our landing page, do you get what we are doing? Is there anything you don't understand? Anything we could improve? Many Thanks.

it looks and feels great! i noticed in the search you have only 7 languages and in the video it says you support 8. Best, ~Zakiya

  We have 8. The 8th is JavaScript. But the language page for JavaScript doesn't look very fancy currently. That's why we removed the icon from the landing page. But you can for example follow jQuery-mobile here: http://www.versioneye.com/javascript/jquery:jquery-mobile/1.3.2 http://www.versioneye.com/javascript/jquery:jquery-mobile/1....

I get what you are doing. I do not understand why I would use this. Doesn't "bundle check" do this for you already (ie., in Ruby)? I also don't like that giant picture. Takes a long time to load and doesn't really have anything to do with your project.

  What is the reason to use a continuous integration system like travis-ci.com, or codeship.io? You could simple run "rspec" in your shell! The reason is automation!

    I use continuous integration to get notified if the build breaks after each commit, not for "automation". BTW - you should run rspec in your shell, too. :) If you had a clear value proposition like that, it'd be easier to understand.

      Well, that is automation. You automate a process because you don't wanna run everything manually in your shell. From VersionEye you get notifications about outdated libraries. But not just that. The tool also shows a list of licenses you are using in your project.

If you would like some more high-quality advice on a landing page, submit it at criticue.com. You can get free reviews by reviewing other sites, or pay for them. I've gotten good feedback for a number of personal sites there.

  Thanks for the hint. Will do.
