   Wow, if this author hates the new G+, he better steer clear of Facebook then. If you said pick the social network where numerous large images, too many actions, and lack of whitespace was a problem, I'd say 1 in a 1000 would pick G+. Plus,

    That's not the point of the article. Developers frequently launch a startup and do so bootstrapping it. They can't always afford professional design help (I can personally attest to that). I listed these resources mainly to help that develo

    Mainly because I came across them from reputable sources (usually from others on the list like Smashing Magazine). Additionally, the list is more aimed towards web apps, so your recommendations wouldn't fit (many thanks though). With all th

    Hmm, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is happening (I don't have an iPad at my disposal). The site uses Bootstrap heavily, and I just ran it through a CSS3 validator, which brought up no alarming custom CSS errors.

    First, over half of people do not use IE8, so not sure where that stat is coming from. Second, not sure I'd call FF or Chrome niche. Not paying too much attention to IE (IE8 specifically) is a strategy worth doing. It's a pain in the ass to

    Awesome! So a strategy mentioned to us before is highlight the skip feature, pull in reviews from sites like Yelp, Google, etc, and focus on that. This way, we'd have ratings for each business, displayable via the map in the site, and the s

    Thanks for the input. I agree about the images, and it's a definite goal but not an easy one to achieve with the team as small as it is. Some places we'd just have to go visit ourselves and snap pics of, which I actually plan to do eventual

    So you nailed what I've already argued to many others, which is reviews are relative to you. I completely understand your point, but it's hard to achieve what you desire w/o being intrusive. To highlight relevance, we'd have to get users to

    Definitely our biggest competitors. We're trying to create a more credible and helpful review site. I liken us to the Rotten Tomatoes for food/entertainment reviews. We encourage quality over quantity with reviews. If you're an IMDB fan ins

    Definitely a concern, as reviews likely have less exposure than something like Reddit and HN posts. We have a few strategies in mind where users will either earn votes or have limited votes available. For example, users could only vote when

    I highly doubt Yelp pays people to review...anymore. They did when they first launched (they've admitted to this), but with their brand recognition now, paying people to review would be a giant waste of money. That being said, they haven't
