Ask HN: Please Review My Startup, http://cityfootprints.com

2 pointsthaiatr8 comments

I've always found it crazy frustrating to plan cool things to do in a new city or come up with date ideas for the gf, so I developed this site that allows people to create, share, and discover itineraries of fun things to do in a city.

http://cityfootprints.com

Still missing a lot cool features, but I think most of the core functions are in place. Would greatly appreciate feedback on the concept, design or anything you would like to see added.

Great concept, ditch the background, improve the tagline. 'Discover new adventure' makes me think this is for extreme sports or backpacking trips, not a new hamburger joint.

The backdrop probably violates copyright, is cute, but causes me to not take the product seriously.

Thanks for the feedback on the tagline and backdrop! I agree, the tagline is kinda weak.

i like the idea, i like how it's made.

But i do not like that i need facebook. why people keep using facebook for logins? Also the background it's nice and funny but it's a bit "heavy" for the eyes. i think a smooth background and some other small changes can make it look better!

Facebook usually just gives the sites extra data and it makes it easier for people who just want one click sign in (at least I think that's why most people do it) but I agree with duiker101 in that you should offer an alternative.

Also the footer bar isn't at the bottom of the page on my resolution so should be fixed.

Thanks for the heads up on the footer! And definitely will provide alternative registration options.

Agree re: Facebook login, great if you want it associated with your FB account, but what if you don't? I'd rather have a raft of possible logins - including OpenID.

word! will definitely start offering multiple registration options.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the idea! Like stevetruong mentioned, the purpose for the FB login is to make registration easier, and to have access to data associated with a users FB account. With that said, you can use most of the site without ever logging in.

Also, good call everyone with the alternative registration options!
