I don't know, I kind of like the sofa. Standing behind it you can take in the whole room, not just the compare the screen with the speakers. Besides, this was the coolest photo I could buy. :)

I did think of that, but that would be quite tougher to build and hardly a weekend thing.

This is actually something I've removed in the process, trying to simplify things.

Yeah, that's definitely in the plans. I'm a projector guy myself. :)

For the MVP I precompiled a list of 3 top selling TVs of all sizes. If it proves to be worth it, I'll add periodic autoupdate for the list and visitor country check, but it still will be prefetched (so yeah, something in between).

By the way, I'm looking for a partner to release it as an iOS app. Anybody game? Hit me up at notabing --- gmail.com

Good point. Didn't think about it, thanks. I removed the hash update for the time being.

But of course, and they do! :)

Some kind of filter, e.g. based on tags would be great (serif, sans-serif, geometric, humanist, script etc.)

A detail: I miss titles below the icons representing various skills. I really hate to have to mouseover just to check what a cup of coffee means. I know it looks cooler without text, but usability suffers.

Maybe you could use the best of both approaches by presenting the most popular/important/broad tags (e.g. PHP, usability, CPC) as a suggested list while allowing users to add their own, more specific or less popular tags (e.g. drupal, mem

Ha, looks neat! And with a little hacking it might work in other browsers as well. Isn't the shadow black though? It would mean that in my case it needs to be dynamically adjusted to the font color chosen by the user (probably by generating

Yeah, I thought of that. Nice thing is that "soon here" is a brand easily expandable into anything startup related.

I actually do include hosting; if possible, I'd rather not walmartize the thing and be a "cheap no-brainer" though.

Thanks! I noticed the resizable textareas in Chrome as well; it's on my bug list. I'll look into the centering thing -- I wasn't able to replicate it so far (Chrome on a mac). About me targeting hackers -- I simply assumed, that a lot of pe

Thanks everyone! Looks like this time I did a bit better. :) To address some issues raised: 1. Hosting is included; the user has to set the domain's CNAME to sites.soonhere.com. The page is also accessible via http://soonhere.com/site/what

After you sign up, there's a "gathered emails" pane for every site in the admin panel; you can export all of the data to CSV or only emails to plain txt. Good feature ideas. I'll look into that after I fix the homepage. Thanks!

Actually, the harsher the better. The problem is falling in love with your own idea -- here it was combining: * the introduction (the header), * "plans and pricing" page (you've got two blocks: the FREE plan and the PRO plan), * page creati

Great idea! I think I can see it. I'll have to sleep on it and try to build it tomorrow. Thanks!

Both good points, thanks. I've done some temporary tweaks to encourage visitors to scroll down for the preview, but after all I believe now it needs a complete rewrite to make it much cleaner -- I was going for "see all you need to see righ

by weirdcat 16y ago
Yeah, you might have a point here. What I was going for was let a visitor play with the controls and preview the page without having to sign up, so I actually had a gradual signup in mind. :) I'll think about reducing the clutter. Thanks a
