Things I immediately wanted: 1. Auto detect my location based on IP address so I don’t have to click that tiny link for my city. 2. You mention 3 kinds of events…techies, makers and urban misfits. Maybe color code or put icons to differenti

Scott tells me that the launch date is Feb 19, 2007. Which is when its announced it on Reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/15gkq/startup_ne... Here's what it looked like (maybe) then

Amazing! It was cool to see the day my company was acquired: http://www.waybackhn.com/?date=2011-4-25 Just pinged Dan and Scott to find out the day HN started. I believe it would have been called Startup News then.

Hmmm…after having gone through the app I looked at the homepage stuff again and I’m wondering if I would have had a different experience if I had gone through it on my phone. Seems like yes based on screenshots so this might be something I’

So, this is how my experience started. http://cl.ly/image/071f1j0B0M3a And then it took me like 5 seconds to figure out how to chat. I first tried to click on people's chat to reply to them and then I finally foun

It was actually useful for me to see what other people thought and commented on in the threads (so I wouldn't spend time repeating stuff). Also, I'd still want people to get feedback from others on HN. You can see a stream of my c

Curious: Why did you decide to build this off of Office 365? Was that a technical decision (is there something great in their API that you loved) or a strategic one? I can easily imagine the latter, but would love to know if the former also

It’s clear that you’ve designed something that gets people’s attention (your animation on the homepage might be one of the best examples of real time apps I’ve ever seen), but based on the questions in this thread…people are looking for dif

This doesn't feel like Show HN material. The biggest problem is that there's nothing for people to "play" with. Please read the rules for Show HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html Probably b

This is awesome, but you should link to your quick start guide in your documentation. I almost missed it as the tiny link at the bottom of the homepage. https://github.com/Imaginea/uvCharts/wiki/guide Can&#x2

Why did you describe this as unhackable? I'm not too into the video, especially since it doesn't even show the blocks. That scrolling reveal interface might not be the best fit for efficiently describing the features of your block

This is really great. I think we're going to use this for helping us highlight parts of the YC application that sticks out to the partners. Very interesting to see that what you actually store in local storage. [{"startOffset&quot

Man, I really hope people contribute to this. It would be great to see the list of challenges with supposed difficulty level and expected amount of time needed to finish. Someone should make a repo for testing designer skills as well. Thank

Odd to see so many people focus on the slider. I don’t really care about the slider--meaning I'm neutral on it. What I do like is your copy for describing the sentiments. I threw the slider back and forth just to see all the options. U

There’s a lot to like here. It reminds me of this great article I read about someone learning French by reading Harry Potter many years ago. I can’t find the first reference to it, but it seems a lot of people take this approach now and num

I've never thought about creativity in this way: If a system is to serve the creative spirit, it must be entirely comprehensible to a single individual. As a UX designer and investor, I'm constantly worrying about cre

Thanks for all the comments everyone. We're currently looking into getting these documents on git. Because Word Docs are not ideal for versioning, we'll probably convert them to markdown and use Pandoc to offer Word and RTF versio
