Initial suggestions: Summarize the contents from your "Why Varely?" section into a sentence or two introduction for the top of the page that goes over a) what is this b) the problem are you trying to solve and b) what can bloggers expect to

But if you add a little heart, it makes it less demeaning.. right? These comments are embarrassing. Writing is a great exercise and more people should do it outside of attacking people for their blog posts on things they're obviously passio

That last screenshot is really confusing, you might want to clean that concept up a bit. Outside of that, here's my dilemma; even if I was crazy social, Facebook/FourSquare/Gowalla know where I am and offer me more incentives to post my loc

This is a weird experiment to me because links (that's what 'which one do you click' means, right?) should be based on other factors besides their emphasis and weight, although ideally they're bolded simply to stand out from the rest of the

Not only does Colourlovers have tools for what you're complaining about (which is rarely something a computer can do to begin with outside of using equations to do so), but the other commenter was legitimately trying to point you towards a

These are the types of CSS articles we need more of on HN; functional, simple and UX-friendly. Thanks for your awesome write-ups Ivo.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic here.

That's not at all what he was implying.

This is a bit of a stretch, it's just another one page plea.

While that's likely the case, at the end of the day if FB is trying to be an advertising platform, they can't do it without competent customer service to ensure they're not cannibalizing their own intent.

So glad Coderwall implemented comments for this very reason. There was a lot of stolen content on there.

Interesting, but MailChimp didn't start with these social media login options, did they? So the low percentage of people using those to sign in probably means that most of those people registered after they were in place? Also, regarding th

Same, I think it looks like they bought a bunch of expensive furniture for a renovated-in-the-90s-rambler. The juxtaposition and lack of dominant style isn't very appealing.

Good to know, thanks!

Look at the new Myspace product demo or the reason why Kickstarter stopped allowing these types of conceptuals on certain product types. How do we know that's really the experience we can expect? You can fake anything in design, and that mi

Yeah this brings about an interesting dilemma; do I really want this crap? Can I reject it or swap it for something of equal value? Store their donation and add it with others' to actually get myself something I want?

Ah, thanks.

Aren't those all legitimate usability/accessibility concerns? I can understand the "Ugh not another one of these services/apps," but when it comes to actually being able to view data on a site and get a gist of who your visitors are, that

In my experience it won't work until you approve it, and even then the messaging Chrome uses here is really obtuse and makes it come off as malicious. A lot of people were initially put off by a recent Reddit Enhancement Suite update that a

I just think it is a slippery slope where the ratio of false leads to legitimate tips weighs too heavily on the former for this to be practical and not threatening to real families when someone wants to play the hero. I'd be interested in s

That's pretty much exactly what http://koding.com/ is working on. They've got a good leg up.

Ha ;) I was referring to people that have made it a point to jump on the bandwagon and make Dribbble shots or similar blog posts referring to practicing/utilizing this "technique".

Ditto. I'd also imagine that if I were the loved one of such a victim, the last thing I'd want while perusing the internet is another reminder. And this isn't even getting into what the scum of the internet would/could do to exploit or othe

This. There's been a lot of pseudo-shitting on gradients recently, and I don't understand it. Like you said, these things aren't inherently bad or should be avoided, they're often just overdone and done poorly to begin with, much like the g

Maybe this makes me a terrible person or someone with a bad photographic memory, but I literally cannot recall any missing person's face that I've seen on a billboard, a website, a milk carton, etc. even if I saw them daily. Worse, the more

Can't tell if you're trolling at this point or if we're both misunderstanding each other. http://store.apple.com/us , the iTunes store and the App Store all rely heavily on sidebar navigation. Vertical content containers save space in addi

> Sidebars don't add anything necessary to the user experience. It's just clutter. This is a really weird argument; sidebars are preferable to a lot of other patterns depending on the site and doesn't at all mean the content is less imp

I wouldn't put this on the users' lack of clarity as much as I would blame Facebook for changing the course of it's features so much so that this is now happening to people. People were using the site as it was once intended and we can't bl
