Great job. Nice execution. I would recommend adding some type of simple tutorial walk-through after the new page is first created. It took a little while for it to sink in that this is a blank canvas and I can start typing, etc. Maybe the f

I'm not quite sure I understand the purpose of the app. I would have to actually check the app during an earthquake to have it tell me yes? Well, in that case I would already know that there is an earthquake near me. Maybe a better tit

Generally speaking I think you did a great job with the design. My feedback would be that it is difficult to tell the buttons apart from the form fields (specifically in the footer). The gray form field for the email address is basically th

One issue seems to be that if the pond is of any decent size (say > 20 meters in diameter) and you put in a few of these devices at the end of the day they are all in the same corner of the pond due to the current/wind.

Art work looks good. I would recommend varying up the screenshots a little. I can't really tell how the gameplay works as each screenshot is essentially the same, just with different items. I would maybe also add a short video of the g

Neat idea. At first it wasn't completely obvious to me that you could click on a node to expand it. You might want to add just a little bit of text to help people out there. Additionally, it seems that as the graph spreads to the right

Site looks great and it was easy to understand the service. However, I went looking for pricing and couldn't find it. My guess is that maybe you are testing now to see what type of demand there might be? I think some type of note on pr

This looks great! I was just thinking I needed something like this a couple days ago, and then this popped up on HN today. I will definitely check it out. I haven't had a chance to dig too deeply into it yet, but is the info stored in

Thanks. Yes, the algorithm only works for English (as it currently stands). If you have interest or ideas for making it work in other languages I would love to hear from you.

I like the site. If a search returns no results you might want to alert the user of this (i.e. 'no results found' or something similar). I couldn't tell if it just wasn't loading or if my search actually didn't get

Very cool idea. I think you should add something like select2[1] to your select input. That way when a user starts typing it could automatically start to autosuggest procedures. [1] http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/

I only see a blank page with the title, footer and "Refresh List". Tried it in Safari and Chrome.

Looks interesting. Why not have a input on the landing page where someone can try it out without even signing up? I think then people could give it a spin before they give away their email address. Otherwise, the user just has to trust your

Built the site with Rails and WebSockets. I hope to add WebRTC video soon. I teach some English lessons through Skype and I wanted a chat client that I could easily show my students their mistakes (and if I add video something that could co

Thanks for checking it out. I haven't gotten around to creating an API yet, but I am very interested to learn more about what your use case might be and what data you would like to be able to import, etc. Send me an email (my screenname at

Thanks for creating these videos. They are a GREAT resource. For anyone looking to learn d3.js, I would highly recommend starting with the video tutorials by enjalot (the above linked or dot enter vol. 1). He does a great job of walking t

That's a good list. I think the most important first step is to find what really interests you (whether that be comic books, TV shows, movies, music) and use that as a starting point. For example, a lot of people I know learned Japanese b

Interesting interview. Although Mr. Hori seems optimistic about the younger generations in Japan (and I would like to agree with him), I still think that the "New Japan" he describes is much, much smaller than he makes it out to be. Overa
