If every startup did this, News.YC would no longer be about news. Personally I saw your site once, didn't quite like it, then was basically tricked into clicking it again because of the URL. I don't appreciate that either. If you want feedback, feedbackarmy.com is a good place, or start with your friends and family. When your product is nearing release, then ask News.YC. Or do what you did -- see if it's a viable product by asking once -- but no more. Any more is overdoing it.

My appologies for tricking you into clicking it again. I see many requests for feedback that appear to be early in a site's lifecycle. Might it not make more sense for HN to just allow you to repost a URL after a certain amount of time has elapsed? It could even add something to the title indicating it's the n-th request for feedback. Start-ups are an iterative process so to only get feedback one time is a bit short-sighted, isn't it? Is there another site that provides something like this? If not, maybe that's something else I should create! :-)
