Ask HN: Social News Startup Feedback (v2)?
Last time (just a few days ago), I got some awesome advice, and I tried to really put that into action.
Simply put, my primary goal for this site is to provide people with a sense of camaraderie online. The actual implementation entails joining teams and posting social news for points, which (theoretically) leads to some good content that is fun to read.
Background:
People were saying that it felt really cluttered and confusing, with the suggestion of a landing page for new visitors. I tried to space things out more, clearly delineate between the left and right content columns, and I put a whole bunch of info at the top for when people are not logged in to help figure out what to do.
There was also some feedback address how to get people using the site, and how to maintain the value of the points.
This Time:
I'm looking for more insight into user impressions. What's cool? What's annoying? I'm stuck in the perspective of creating it, and so I come to you, HN.
