Why do HN readers have to always complain, at least start your negatives with some positive congratulation sort of phrase, I bet most of people who post their newly created website or service want some sort of approval by HN which will give them a huge boost of positive emotions which will allow them to make service better. Just put yourself in his shoes, you just posted a service you l've spent lots of your free time building it, and the top comment on HN has nothing positive in it...
- Zikes 13y agoCriticism can be positive.
- rrhoover 13y agoCriticism is usually the best type of feedback. Keep it coming. :)
- rhubarbcustard 13y agoAgreed and it's often really hard to get someone to criticise and tell you what could be improved - everyone just dishes out the usual "yeah, looks nice".
- zvanness 13y agoI agree! I think we should be balanced in our feedback, point out the positives and negatives. It starts to get real old when it's nothing but negatives.
- hrabago 13y agoNegatives are easy to point out. Similar to how "People don't know what they want", if something is working right, people may not notice it because it just works. However, if something isn't working right, it's often easy to spot it. For what it's worth, I see a lot of positive feedback, though they're more about the service itself rather than something that the service (or UI) does well.
