Re:Ask HN: Review our webapp (Sproost); team met on HN on Saturday January 10, 2009 @08:27AM (#427920)
I disagree on the signup.

I think the placement of the signup is quite nice. Why? because my test result accurate depicted my taste and I was curious to see more.

Needless to say, I signed up.

Didn't buy anything though... everything was way expensive.

Re:Ask YC: What do you think of my new search engine? on Friday September 26, 2008 @08:01AM (#315955)
for me, it was enticing enough to give it a try.

okay, Here's the first thing I tried, because I was actually looking for it:

try to search for: "mashable wordpress theme" ... FAIL! you took me to search the mashable site for "wordpress theme" tags, which returned nothing.

however, when I searched "wordpress theme" ... SUCCESS, kinda. What I was looking for displayed on the right, in recent news.

It's okay. I think something definitely needs to be improved here.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

Re:Ididwork (YC Summer 08) Launches on Thursday August 07, 2008 @03:59AM (#269460)
I would agree, the "time poor" issue is obvious. However, I've been testing this out a little and figure to try it on myself first (me managing me).

My first impression--besides idiotwork--is that they really make things simple. They seems to be going for the twitter, microblogging style for management. They really reduce a lot of the fat out of managing tasks and reporting.

I like how it just asks, "What did you do?" Instead of, "what's the progress?" "what are your road blocks?" "are you sure you're not critical path?" I'm not sure if this tool will answer those questions, but I'm not sure if they're aiming to do that either.

But then again, I'm not as "time poor" as some may be.

Re:The (Highly Controversial) YouNoodle Startup Predictor Is Coming on Tuesday August 05, 2008 @06:27PM (#267967)
I'd be interested see how YC companies are valued by this predictor.

YouNoodle may or may not be an accurate predictor, but I bet they're good at predicting which teams/startups are likely to get funding from investors/VCs.

I agree, but I also find it a little humorous. I don't think it's such a big deal.

my answer: Enthusiasm/Passion.

suggestion: your question could be better answered through a poll.
