http://www.stubia.comThis is my first web app, Stubia is a really simple mobile encyclopedia that limits each article (Stubs) to 160 characters. I designed the site to be mobile and scale up to bigger screen resolutions. I want to get some feedback on the current version and maybe some general advice on what should be changed/added.I posted this earlier as a link but it didn’t gather as much...

The basic goal of the site is to have a place where people can create content that would otherwise be deleted by Wikipedia; no concerns about notoriety and no pressure to expand articles. I don't really have any plans to impose any rules on the site, for now I want to focus on collecting the long-tail of articles that doesn’t exist on the web.

There is also a micro-blogging component to the site. Depending on the context attached to the article a series of buttons appear on the article page(By default just "Love" & "Hate", I left out selecting contexts for simplicity and data quality concerns), clicking on them creates a post on your profile: http://www.stubia.com/@abe

Let me know if you find that other link, I would be interested in taking a look at it.

Ask HN: Good examples of registration ui

Posted by antigua on Sunday September 26, 2010 @11:33PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I did some searching and found this link: http://ui-patterns.com/explore/collections/account-registrationIt has some good examples but I wanted to hear your opinions on what works and what doesn't. I personally like HN and Instapaper's simple registration forms and was wondering why there aren't more services using similar sign up forms. Wouldn't having one field for an email address and...

Linux distributions can get all the face lifts in the world, but at the end of the day they were not designed to be cute and accessible.

OS X's biggest downside is the same core problem of the Windows interface: having icons, menus and windows bolted on to a desktop is incredibly inelegant, redundant and wasteful of screen space.
