   This project is only weeks old. I wanted to get it running asap. I'll take the time to get the validators running locally soon.

   Thanks for your comments. I'll try some alternatives for (1) and see if I can come up with a better UI.

   I started building this after a typo in one of my (otherwise perfectly valid) sites totally broke the layout in IE. With vldtr I now have an easier first line of defense against such breakage. Another site I've inherited doesn't validate at

    The sperm race isn't 50/50 either. The y-sperm is slightly lighter than the x-sperm and thus slightly faster. On the other hand, women tend to live longer.

    Where the 3rd one is a simple WFM, which is helpful because it establishes that not everyone is having these problems, the 2nd comment sounds condescending and ignores the problems that the parent is having in favour of bringing up an unrel

    I started writing down some critique, but I think I can summarise: polish it. UI elements are not aligned, buttons don't work and "mm" doesn't seem like a valid entry for the month-field. Oh, and more information about your product and less

    People who previously had no problem working on the project without direct compensation will now feel undervalued if they don't get shares, but other people do.
