Just Finished V1.0 Please Review

Greetings HN,

I just finished V1.0 of http://theratemydate.com and would love some peer review. I'll be shooting spoof videos of selected posts and displaying them beside the story. What do you think of the site and idea?

Thanks, GDH

With only an E-mail field to keep track of users who post you are obviously trying to speed up and increase the ease of use, however it could end up decreasing post quality and increasing spam.

I could see this site taking off, it's like FML but it targets a niche and looks like it will be providing custom videos for users. Like GrahamH said the contrast is a bit harsh.

The idea is viable, I could see it becoming popular. The bad is the background/foreground contrast and the nav bar needs work.

Thanks, I thought so as well. I've just been busy working on getting the site up and haven't gotten around to changing the graphics from the original concept graphics.

Interesting idea, similar sites exist. None of them focus on dating only, hopefully it works out.

The nav should use text instead of images.
