Ooh! I like the font. Helvetica Neue, very daring. And moz-border-radius! Love the layout and typography, although there's maybe a little too much bold text, starts to feel patronising.

Not sure about the whole "ideas from young people" thing; I have learnt over time that the experience of actually trying to implement ideas radically changes ones' perspective on them and their viability. That's one of the reasons I like programmers so much, really - it's one of the few groups of people with direct everyday experience of actually implementing ideas, and so have a very realistic view of what is actually a good/useful/viable idea and what is not. My non-programmer friends seem to lack any such perspective, and I assume most students are in the same boat.

But whatever; looks good and I agree with you on the file saving idea.

Thanks. I got that for the bold text several times. It's amazing the disparity between using and coding.

Experience plays a great role in implementing, while a lot of times it is the one that sets the boundaries to imagination. This makes young minds very viable to imagination, but surely need the experience to go further. Aleveo should connect them, and give feedback on those ideas, by enriching them with others' experiences.

Only then can we judge if these students have viable ideas. So, soon we'll find out :)

Thanks for the comment!
