Hacker News Reader

Hi! I just signed up, and I thought I'd go see who was about to help a potential me - and it signed me up as needing help without any sort of confirmation! Now I'm in an embarrassing situation where I need to explain to my poor buddy that I don't actually want his help, I was just poking around :( Perhaps you should add some sort of confirmation to the "need help" thing :)

ETA: some sort of "undo" button (i.e. no longer needing help) would be nice :)

Ditto. I clicked 'Help a fellow hacker' thinking it would lead to a page about that process, or with a list of people needing my skill set, but now it sounds like I might be contacted by someone who took the time to write me a personalized request that I'm not (yet) ready for.

I just signed up to get a feel for the site for now.

I also recommend skill set options in product management, project management and community relations.

Ahh sorry - you're absolutely right, there should be some kind of confirmation first. I'll add that to v2 :)
