Thoughts on my site ?
So I just finished the first alpha version of an idea I had. Let me know what you all think of it, or have any suggestions, questions, comments.
Here is the description of the site:
PushTruth.com is a real-time content site that allows users to post articles, pictures, video and music. Users can vote on the items submitted and see hot stories grow in real-time, or unpopular stories strink. Users can also zoom in & out to view smaller items. Stories can be posted in the future also (eg: a press conference to be released on YouTube 2 days from now). Users are also able to drag the main interface as well.
- metanoize 17y agoTry again, without using Flash!
- zanek 17y agoThanks for the comment. Flash was necessary for a number of aspects of the site (most notably, the zooming features). I definitely understand people having an aversion to Flash, but there are lots of things you can do with Flash that arent possible with HTML/AJAX/etc
- nzmsv 17y agoActually, I think the site would only benefit from losing the zooming along with most other effects. Sorry to say this (as you definitely spent a lot of time on them), but the effects make the site look like someone's first experience with PowerPoint.
- samdk 17y agoI'm sorry to be so brutally honest, but a lot of those things you can't do with HTML/CSS/JS are things you really shouldn't be doing at all. Full-page flash breaks usability in so many ways. It completely kills accessibility. It makes things run very slowly. It means I can't open links in new tabs. The only method of scrolling (clicking to drag) is not at all obvious. I could go on. The usability (or rather, lack of it) is its biggest problem right now. There are additional design issues, but they're practically irrelevant at this point.
- scott_s 17y agoI really don't know what I'm looking at. An aggregator of some sort, but why is is layed out like this? It's not obvious to me.
- ScottWhigham 17y agoEmpty for me except for next and previous buttons
- zanek 17y agoWhat browser are you using ?
- ScottWhigham 17y agoFF 3.5 with Flash Block (but not NoScript)
- zanek 17y agoThanks for the reply. Yea, the site uses Flash, so that explains it.
