Re:Ask HN: review our startup - jobbountyhunter.com on Friday January 23, 2009 @08:28AM (#446329)
The front page was very busy in my opinion for a stealth-mode startup. Keep it REAL simple and lead people to more information.

Also the color, layout and stock photos on the 'how it works' page made me think of one of those pyramid scheme sites.

What is the validation model for the Job Seeker eclipsing 3 months?

Widgets look good.

My advice to Google is to lower the user threshold, possibly as low as 12-25 and create a middle-tier pricing option.

Re:Ask HN: What can't you do in Excel? on Monday January 12, 2009 @03:09AM (#430280)
OLE is a joke, if this is a client-side application add embeddable spreadsheet widgets.

Pivot-tables would be nice as a core function to model data (see quantrix.com)

Make 'light databases' part of the architecture and not counter-design. something like, spreadsheets meets csv with a cli query component or similar.
