Show HN: trendingpeople.com (Built and launched entirely last weekend)

4 pointsAndrewMoffat2 comments

It's a site for posting a picture + link + blurb about people who are trending in media now. It's absolutely BMVP. Ugly forms, indescript error messages, etc, but I'm proud for throwing it together in only a weekend. It was written in python and uses Durus as the datastore (completely underrated object db btw).

Criticism and suggestions welcome.

You picked a bad time to post as it's after 2am on the east coast. I know the HN community spans the globe but your project has an North American bent. I bet you'll get more feedback if you repost in an evening before 8pm here/5pm west coast time. That aside...

Not bad for a weekend project! Good name. Smooth and predictable functionality. No bizarre usability things that surprise or confuse and a generally interesting concept. For simplicity's sake I would make the entire images clickable, but that's my only nitpick. I think the site is neat and appeals to everyone's inner Perez (in a _good_ way).

Good idea with making the whole images clickable. Thanks for the feedback!

I didn't really think about the posting time...d'oh
