   Not sure why you got down-modded. I agree with you about the maps, and am trying to tweak the clustering algorithm to be a little smarter about which zoom level it's at, how many places are in an area, etc. Also, yeah, that wording on the f

   Given the "more" links on the front page, I'm guessing HN is using continuations as state storage mechanisms, and that they're stored on a per-user basis. So, I'd expect the site's RAM requirements to be pretty hefty just on that basis, hen

   Some combination of it not being our only project and not yet feeling like we'd achieved that "quantum of utility" Paul Graham talks about.

   Ah, yeah, all good points. The 100% thing is definitely a bug, and the USA thing is annoying, I agree.

   Thanks, I'll try to figure out what's causing those problems.

   Wow, yeah, that is confusing. Seeing it out of context makes me wonder what I was thinking when I wrote that. And thanks for the feedback on the map. It looks like I've got some work to do there. As for the design, the credit goes to Metala

   Wow, that's really weird. I'll try to figure it out. Edit: Figured it out, I hope. It should be fixed now. :)

    Thanks for the ideas! Especially #5, which triggered a discussion between us on how to do this the best...

    1) Yup, looks like I need to tweak that a bit. Showing a list is a great idea. 1.a) Ah, that's probably a bug. 2) Good point. 3 & 5) Thanks :-) 4) Ah, right. I can see how that could be confusing. 6) We have an iPhone app in the works.

    Thanks! The site was actually built as the backend for an iPhone app we're working on, so we definitely agree..

    My friend and I have been working on this site for a little over a year, and decided it was finally time to pull the trigger and go live. So, HN, you get to look at it first. :-) The concept is basically "Delicious for places". It's a socia
