The positioning works for me. Pricing ($25/h) is prominent and makes it clear that it's in my budget. It's what Zara and H&M do. High-end design makes customers feel important; low prices let them know they're shopping in the right stor

How is an external keyboard less of a physical encumbrance than a thin plastic overlay?

What annoys me about typing on the iPad is that I can't take my eyes off the keyboard, because there are no physical cues to keep my hand positioned correctly. The iPad is the first keyboard I've had to look at since I was 8 years old. It t

If this means I can type on the iPad without looking at the keyboard, that's an awesome use case. It means I can type 100+ wpm while taking notes in a meeting or class, just like with a laptop. I can leave my external keyboard at home.

Ways FF should improve the reading experience: - Support normal scroll behaviour (swiping my trackpad scrolls but only very slowly; I can't press spacebar to page down; clicking underneath the scroller should advance a single page, not jump

Great ideas... these features were added a couple days after launch.

The placement is deliberate -- dating won't be a viable use case for the site until user count has increased substantially. Right now it's mostly there to make people feel comfortable that if they leave dating off, they shouldn't be bothere

Indeed. The press seems intent on framing any attempt to create a great product as an effort to make war against whoever is currently in the space.

Both great suggestions. Thanks.

Yup, this is definitely a problem that will need solving. Aware & thinking :).

It's a great idea and I've experimented with UI's for grouping in the past (grouping/lists were a victim of the simplify-before-launch phase). All tweets, blog posts, postcards, phone calls to friends, shouts from rooftops etc. would be gre

This is why I liken overlaps more to 'tact' than 'privacy'... because you can't prevent people from lying/misrepresenting themselves, nor can you prevent people from changing honestly wanting to change their overlaps over time (you might be

Yup, in Ruby/Rails 3.1 & CoffeeScript/Backbone.js. It's actually my first web app.

Pushing a fix for the location bug right now. Dating settings will be updated... I removed extra options yesterday to simplify the user queries, but they will be put back in.

Good to know, I'll think about how to handle this. (The problem of not testing on other people's machines!)

The best way to discover users now is to browse overlaps. Sorting user lists by match rates is temporarily disabled until I ensure the back-end is ready to handle the load (this is the first major public posting of the site). Filtering, by

I've gone back-and-forth in my mind about this. At the moment I have my real name on the site, but I don't think it's necessary. When you meet new people in real life, names are only given after a certain amount of trust has already been bu

A big challenge is simply having enough users to give you the sense that when you're bored or lonely, you could rely on Overlap.me to help you find connection. I figure "small wins" -- like the initial fun of joining your first overlaps --

by h34t 15y ago
Hmm an option to hide does make sense. Still need to have an easy way to navigate to your overlaps (there's a "My Overlaps" link, but it's not very prominent). With more data it'll be also be possible to suggest overlaps to you based on wha

Hmm now that makes a lot of sense.

by h34t 15y ago
Indeed, solo founder here :). Good points re: settings UI. Will fix shortly. Hmm will think about the New Overlap flow. I wanted there to be more space than the search field allows, and also to make sure people review the options available.

Of course, feedback is most welcome. It's not that you need to have a lot in common with someone to get along. The hypothesis of the app is simply that the least-awkward way to begin a conversation is by starting out with the common gro
