I agree. But, the purpose is to promote YC. It may have started as something else, but this website is more powerful than a lot of big name news outlets. Money is made here, believe it or not. That is why a change in the formula is not some

Is the code open source? If so, I could give you a hand with the UI.

That would turn it into reddit. The purpose of HN is to promote YC, and not to make it into a general link aggregator.

You can adjust it with ctrl (or cmd) +/-.

Links: - Color. Make it dark. Light blue on a white background is very hard to read. - Font size: Too big. Look at HN. Layout: - Reduce the padding in between entries. HN is easy to scan because everything is neatly packed. You only need to

You make a strong point. This may be used to get people to work harder for the same (or even less) money. I have met talented programmers/engineers/developers. They had that a natural instinct towards computers. But they were not

This brings Django one step closer to including scaffolding (like Rails).

If you are experiencing low conversion numbers, then your model might be incorrect. Have you tried selling the tshirts offline? If people will buy them from you, then you will have designs that people will buy online. Another member made th

I'm not particularly smart. But I am resilient and will keep trying until I figure it out. Books and classes are great, but you can't depend on theory alone. Practice makes perfect. When you do , you understand why things are don

I get the point the OP is making. Which is don't build anything without being sure people need it and will use it . I can't find any reason to argue with that. Sure, there are examples of people building things that later went on

I appreciate the response. The system is still fairly new, and in development. My options are still pretty much open. Just waiting on more paying customers (but aren't we all?).

Patrick, How did you transition from that first AR client to the next? Did you simply close them on the spot?

I would also use a better font. Droid sans would work nicely (its on google web fonts).

The biggest problem that company had was fetching the image for each product (it fed from one API). They had to manually insert the image for each one. Imagine a pallet with 200 different products in it! All I did was create a web GUI wher

The colors are off. Particularly the yellow. It is hard to read. The blue is nice, could be a shade darker. The last square position is empty. Why not put one there with links to your blog or whatever? Its prime real estate, because the rea

You mention collecting data, which has been a big issue in this market. The local dentists (this is an offline startup) use a closed sourced program that does not export data. The only way to retrieve any data is to use automation scripts t

Let's say I have a data analysis startup. My market is dentists with three or less offices. How would your Big Data solutions work for me? (Real question. I am developing this business as we speak).

I once made a simple program that would create excel spread sheets from the input of a barcode scanner. Took me about a day. It made a big impact on the company. Before, they would spend 2 days creating the spread sheet. My program had it d

You cannot expect people to replace a language developed and polished over decades with one that barely hit version 1.0. Go is fun to write, has some good ideas, and is a little more readable (in idiomatic form) than C++. But it is new. Onc

The shade of green you used for the buttons needs to be a little more darker.

This is one of those neat little things that make a big difference in how a program is used and perceived. Very nice work.

I wonder what would happen if I did the same thing but with programs.

You are right. I will say that I had not noticed this story being fictional. Makes me feel rather stupid. Why did I not notice? I have been in this situation many times. We often read about how perfect startups are. How nothing in Silicon V

I see. Your interpretation makes sense. I did not take into account the word lady . I now understand the implication of her being mentioned. Normally, I use lady to refer to every, well, lady. It was my own habit that kept me from understa

by bliti 13y ago
I do understand that. It is a good technique to use. But my question is: Why mention the fact that the lady was Asian, when she is not mentioned again in the story? I feel that providing the extra detail without further involving the charac

A guy in a shirt, a guy in a polo, and an Asian lady. Why not a lady? Not calling you racist, but it is interesting how the race of non-whites seems to be included in some manner like it is always relevant. Why not mention the race of the t
