Show HN: Think Tank – Web design and development inspiration and project ideas
- thesimon 12y agoAt least on iOS Chrome, the color of the email field is white on white which makes it hard to see what you are typing. A preview on what to expect (e.g. The last email that was sent out) would be nice, too.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoThanks for the heads up. It should have a "pinkish" background. I'll look into it. EDIT: Fixed. It was a CSS bug
- castis 12y agoSame with FF 35.0 on ubuntu 14.04
- Paul_Dessert 12y agodamn. sorry about that.
- ing33k 12y agoSame with FF 35 on OS X 10.10.2
- dhagz 12y agoSame on Safari, OSX 10.10.2 Seems to be across the board based on comments.
- davegonzalez 12y agoSeeing the same on latest Chrome for Mac.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoWas a small CSS issue. Fixed.
- chriskelley 12y agoI would recommend filling in real address details in Mailchimp. After I entered my email and was taken to the confirmation page I immediately regretted it when I saw the "1234 B St LA, California 90210" address. Not a good signal for legitimacy.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoYeah. I work from home and I didn't want my address public. I understand your concern.
- aaronpk 12y agoP.O. boxes are your friend
- jdawg77 12y agoI have a free, open source software on github. Is this the kind of thing that would be featured in the tips for designers & developers? It's a bit hard to figure out what kind of tips, without a sample / preview of the content you're going to send...
- ianbicking 12y agoI'd want to see a sample before I signed up.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoPlease see my comment above about this. Thanks!
- thetmkay 12y agoCan we send you ideas for the list?
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoAbsolutely! My contact info is at the bottom of the "Think Tank" page.
- ereckers 12y agoIt would be nice to have an example of what an email would look like (even 1 screenshot on 1 page would be alright for me).
- aepearson 12y agoDitto on this. I have no idea what I'm signing up for...
- fuzzythinker 12y agoCan't enter email on both FF and Chrome.. EDIT: actually, can, just both the text and background is white.. WHY???
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoStill looking into this. It's weird. It looks good in FF on my localhost, but I see what you're talking about when it's on the live server. EDIT: Fixed. It was a CSS bug
- q2 12y agoLike others, I also like to see a sample before sign-up. Also, there need to be assurance that given email won't be used for other purposes/shared with others/spam ...etc.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoPlease see my comment above about this. Thanks!
- psp 12y agoI need inspiration at specific time and for that a periodic email is not going to cater me well. Would you consider delivering this in some other format - for example online gallery that is available when I need it?
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoFor now I'm going to keep it as an email list. If the participation is high enough, I'll start posting people's completed projects to the site. Kind of a "completed projects" gallery
- spdustin 12y agoWhy not make the Mailchimp archive public? Folks can subscribe if they want, get a feed, or view the archive. Content is the same either way. And that'd solve the "I'd like to see what I'm subscribing to" questions.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoGood idea. Will do!
- Paul_Dessert 12y ago@everyone asking for a sample. I have no intention of spamming you. There aren't any examples because it's a new newsletter. There is nothing to show yet. I'll add an archive section to the site and post old newsletters a few days after I send them out. Those that have signed up, thank you! You should see the first newsletter later next week.
