News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I made a website with my wife. It has turned out pretty well.

My wife and I used to play this game with each other once we started dating and decided to turn it into a website. The end result is Faveone (faveone.com).

It has taken about a year for it to get to where it is at, as I was new to Codeigniter and it was mostly just a small side project.

I wanted to see what the HN community thinks about it and get some feedback.

I like the design! One thing though, I was on my iPhone and it seemed like I always had to click twice to see the vote figures?

I noticed this on a friends iPad also, it seems that the first touch is the Hover event and the next touch is the actual Click event.

edit: I am working on a mobile version of the site.

I like the concept and wish you the best of luck.

I'd consider adding a few different preloaded questions on the main page (or perhaps recently answered questions).

Some people might be intrigued by "Would you rather?" while "Which is your fave?" might sound a bit bland causing them to click out sooner. Just a thought.

On a page where you see a "this or that" or on the create page?

Fun! My only suggestion would be instead of having to click next, the page should automatically refresh after choosing.

Thanks for looking at it. I have had that suggestion a few times. The reason I haven't change it to that is because I want the user to see the results on the page. I have played around a bit with a way to display previous vote results but haven't been happy with any of them yet.

Show the results, then after X seconds automatically go to the next one.

This way the user gets to see the results, and they don't have to click "Next"

This reminds me of a YC funded startup that did the same thing, what were they called again?

From what I can find it looks like it was launched back in 2006. Found this from the wikipedia entry for Y Combinator, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator. See reference 9 at the bottom.

A concept like this was funded? I am curious as to know who it was.
