I thought id share with you guys... feedback is very much appreciated... Im taking the weekend off
I've learnt from experience that you should take the time off before shipping the app. That way you're there to gather the feedback, do the bugfixes. Then try to do a second release within a week with a few little extra features that have been requested to show the community you listen to them.
Nice site, keep up the good work.
+ The error message "Phrase Erorr!" had me cracking up because I'm pretending it's intentional?
+ Everything is a bit too dark for this computer's dimming LCD.
+ Signup text inputs should probably have a maxlength attribute to reduce resubmissions. Not for security of course. It'd be neat if signup was identical to the way login works.
- i need to hire a witty copywriter
- i will bump up the contrast
- will add maxlenght to text input
sorry my replys sound short... Im reading and replying on my mobile phone
thank you very much for the feedback!
...and yet, for reasons I can't fully explain, I really liked it! It's simple, local, and with the opportunity for vicarious thrills imagning other's experiences...
My only suggestion is that a site like this (more than Reddit/Digg/YCnews/etc) would benefit from having multiple different groups or interests to filter with. Maybe front page is most popular events all around, but you can filter the list to show only the most popular events by music, or bicycling, etc.
Nice work, looks like it could become something great.
Sorry we didn't understand what you meant by search for events beer, try using "in beer"
So I search for "in beer".
Search result "for events in beer" yeilded 0 match(es)
Keep working on it.
When I type in the FULL title and it gives me zero results, it's broken. The first upcoming event is "Block party", and neither that, nor "block", nor "party" yield results.
I don't want "in" party or "with" party, I want everything that says "party".
> I understand that users are used to using a search query by typing a keyword and relevant results come up
Yes, so if your site doesn't work that way, guess what's broken? Hint: It's not the users.
Including "with" or "in" as an extra feature is one thing, but requiring it just makes it look like your site's broken.
I am also thinking he only did this idea to learn and test it out rather than as a serious business venture but then he should still have done a more unique concept since their are plenty out there....
