Show HN: Can you spec a random dribbble in 60 seconds
http://specthis.parseapp.com
this is a simple app to keep spec writers (product managers and designers for apps currently) stay sharp through a fun spec'ing exercise.
you are shown a random dribbble image.
you have 1 minute* to give:
- a 3 word description
- a 1 liner
- a 1 para description
- tags and a name for a hypothetical spec.
it currently has 500 designs. and it takes me just a one-liner to add many more.
( PS: is 1 minute too much, too less ? )
once i have enough data, i think i'll be able to build an inverted index.
ie: given a design pattern or tag => show me similiar designs or "specs".
i was helping a friend of mine train to think like a product manager.
so i built an mvp this weekend

flashcards for GRE/GMAT/TOEFL are well known, but even a google search for specs show practically nothing. mind games for product managers/designers/spec writers are unheard of. perhaps this could even become a github for specs. i have a few 6-7 letter domain names i've soft circled as well.
PS: a major reason for posting here is that i am looking for a designer to collaborate with. if you like the idea, help spread the word.
- mickle00 12y agoLeft page after pop up blocker blocked what appeared to be Facebook OAuth login.
- bosky101 12y agothat sucks. i've changed the begin link to open fb login on the main window. but the "permissions" dialog always seems to open in a popup. thanks for the feedback.
- nmjohn 12y agoApp gives an error on facebook login - I sent a link to a screencast of what happens to the email in your profile. That being said, why use facebook login? I rarely will use a site which requires a facebook login.
- bosky101 12y agoI've removed fb auth. check it out now, just enter your email and you should be good to go. I guess i wouldnt be worried about sessions at this stage. thanks for reporting that & taking time with the screenshot. ~B
