Thank you. Good work on that site, the concept is the most important element to keep it going. Due to the amount of websites that could easily tackle this market (side by side) we needed the design to really step up the mark (that's what we

Thank you for your great feedback. Glad you like the design/functionality - we knew that had to be top notch. Your Threading Replies idea is one that has been requested many times and will be implemented soon - actually we just wrote a post

It's great to see this in Melbourne! I'm an ex-Perth-ite and I made the move to Melbourne nearly 3 years ago. It was the best decision as the culture, coffee, people and general positivity is amazing (less tall poppies). Over a few months I

Lol, yes that is a funny sentence. however, some people have found it as a good tool to get useful explanations too. In regards to the database error, that's just because I was unprepared and did not expect 10,000+ hits in one night to a sm

We have moved it to our Cloud VPS so it should now cope with the traffic. Thanks, Diesel.

Thanks mcphilip. Agreed. I will look into that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks zwieback! It's very limited in functionality currently, and it was built as a side project to http://barkles.com - I won't be putting much time into 1Sentence, but that is a great suggestion - and if there is a way to implement it

In one sentence explain why the server is down: Error establishing database connection. (it worked! lol) But seriously though, thank you for your thoughts. I did not expect it to be such a hit on HN, and the website was thrown together in a

"Is one sentence supposed to make it easier to understand?" - To many = yes. In my eyes, this would be perfect to get an explanation of new trends (e.g. a year ago it may have been this: http://1sentence.com/in-one-sentence-explain-social-

Thank you so much. I literally put this together in a few days and didn't think much of it so I am happy it's been received so well. The simplicity is what makes this work, and all your points are spot on. In terms of the deletion, that was

No, I didn't use Reddit. It just came from my mind and want for a one sentence explanation to something.

In response to this Corin: Was your aim just to see how people respond, or are you hoping that in 3 months, a year's time it's being actively used? And, if the latter, still as a random "look what I made in a weekend" way, or a "woah, check

Another great point - monetization. It is not impossible to monetize this website via ad words etc, however for proper moderation you would definitely need real funding/cashflow. I didn't clarify this anywhere, however I would like to now:

I appreciate your serious and well thought out feedback. I truly intended this to be a "meh, go for it" website while I focus on building my startup http://barkles.com . It has definitely attracted the 'crazy' ones who post random and poin

Each post is limited to 200 characters. And I agree with "it often takes longer to write a short post than a long one" - We hope that by doing this we can encourage stronger and well crafted opinions vs large opinions that are usually follo
