Hey, thanks for your feedback (I'm the designer). Initially we had the slider visible, but I hid it to reduce chrome - and because it wasn't a feature that I (casually) observed people using all that often. You're the second person to request that it be visible again, so I'll work on either making it easier to discover or making it fully visible on page load. Thanks again!

A lot of people are saying "it depends" - I totally agree. Some products are built to spread virally, others need to acquire users/customers via advertisement.

Eric Ries has some really interesting thoughts on this topic. Check out this blog post: http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/2008/11/what-is-custome...

Looks a lot like getmarquee.com, only not as impressive.

I'm also a female, a designer (ux/ui) and I try to spend as little time as possible thinking about my clothing and hair, while still looking like a designer.

The look described here sounds simple, but super casual and perhaps a bit dumpy for a designer. I find that the easiest thing for me is to wear all black clothing that fits well (don't buy it unless you feel great in that shape and material, no compromises). Avoid cotton because it fades and has a gross texture. Done.

"to step back and think about what’s most important, try to come up with the most simple and shortest path to get there, build, analyze what works and why(not), measure, test, rinse, and repeat"

This is more than just UX - you're talking about product design, usability testing, reviewing quantitative data, then reworking features & design (UX/UI + dev) - the whole thing.

Sounds like you're saying that the UX principle of, "being really persistent in iterating and discovering what works" is essential to product - yea, agreed - that's called working towards product market fit. That kind of analysis and iteration is definitely good but not a novel idea.

Also, a suggested revision to title: "Don't look for a UX person, be a UX person." There are women on here too, thanks.

Benefits over dygraphs? http://dygraphs.com/

I agree. This is really awesome but the play button should be effortlessly easy to find.
