They can add their address to their babylist. The list itself has no privacy controls so I'm not sure if people will enter it. And there's no integration b/t the address they entered on the site and online stores.

That makes sense. It does that because if you're logged in and have a baby registry i just redirect you there. By clicking the logo you can get to the landing page.

I know. I contacted the owner of babylist.com (it's a mirror of babylist.co.uk) and they never got back to me.

This is the #1 thing on the TODO. So far all sign-ups (which are not many) have successfully added products, which has surprised me.

Thanks for the concrete feedback. Great, great, great. I put up the vendors page after I saw a vendor create a list of their products with a description "create your baby registry on this site to register for our store". At least I can cont

Really good advice. I think of toys-r-us and babies-r-us as the same but they're not... Thanks.

I hear you. I think the one thing that makes this different is that I'm not going after the universal wishlist market, just the baby registry market. When you go to create a baby registry you're not like "oh, i need a wishlist of items for

I'm 8-months pregnant. When I went to create a baby registry I was pretty disappointed with what was out there (I ended up using Amazon Universal Wishlist). I found myself with some time on my hands waiting for baby, and decided that I'd bu

This is cool. I recommend letting the user auto-post it to CL like airbnb.com does. Then the user doesn't have to look at the html.

I didn't make any progress :) The idea was to connect your different affiliate accounts to give you real-time, rich data about aggregate sales. But in order to access this information on behalf of the affiliate marketer you need to overcome

Public library search interfaces are awful. The Vancouver library and Seattle library both use the same standard catalog software. They're slow and clunky. Based on the name ipac, I think they both use this software - http://www.l4u.com/iP

Do you think non-tech people saw that the same way as us? I felt the same thing about the Winklevoss' story-line. Did non-developers/non-HNers get the same thing from the movie?

The pros on this list really resonate with me. Whenever the "women in computing" discussion comes up my biggest input is that women are missing out on a job that can pay exceptionally well right out of college, offer flexibility down the ro

Are you using an SRS (Spaced Repetition) flashcard program? It helps if you're starting and stopping because it will force you to review all the words, grammar, sentences etc. that you used to know. You can fit it into any other learning yo
