Ask HN: Please review my StartUp
Please review my Start-Up VersionEye: https://www.versioneye.com/. I would like to know what you think about the idea. How do you like the landing page? Any ideas for improvements? Your feedback is appreciated.
This should be up there in the top, slightly re-formated to something like:
"Follow software libraries and discuss their progress with other developers"
Ditch the whole "it's like this and this for that"
Never lock yourself into other peoples definitions and never assume people know what yelp or twitter is (unless your product is an extension of those services)
1) I searched for "zlib" which is something I needed recently for Python. zlib comes built in to Python, but I think you could include it in your results anyways since it's kind of a toss up what comes prepackaged and what doesn't.
2) I tried to filter and the filters cleared and showed me the old results again.
Good luck, I think it's a really great idea. I search for different packages like this all the time, and it's a PAIN.
I know that it is pain to search for packages on Google. Because there is just to much noise on Google.
Many Thanks for your Feedback. I will continue to improve it.
I'm getting application error. You must be making some changes.
BTW why are you linking https for the landing page? It'd work just as well on http.
It is not much slower with https, but the configuration is easier. GitHub is doing the same. By default https.
other than that: cool & interesting idea - still a few bugs in there (i.e.: https://www.versioneye.com/search?lang=&q=coffeescript, select boxes on the search box don't remember their setting)
