Ask HN: Please review my webapp: This or That

Should be able to vote without going to a separate sub-page.

Also, it is kinda boring and just too much of a word blur for my tastes.

It kinda has also already been done in a way by sites like http://www.googlefight.com/

I get an Internal Server error on any link I click.

But to be honest, I probably wouldn't have even bothered trying to click if I hadn't visited the page with the specific intent of giving the app a try to review it for you. It's just way too much text, with no real rhyme or reason for why it's presented the way it is, and no real incentive to do anything but close the browser. I agree with mediaman as well: voting should be possible without need to click through -- think of another incentive to get people to click through (like commenting/debating the merits of the head to head).

nice first web app. you will be contending with the myriad of "hot or not" type clones that largely cater to the unmonetizable idling office worker or bored-to-tears slacker.

cheers!

This reminds me a bit of http://you-vs-me.com

And mine -- http://collectivesys.com

It might not be instantly obvious that comparison can be done, so here's one example -- http://collectivesys.com/item/compare/KSrJ1hb2c9wx%3BvLgQgEe...

It currently lets you choose between "turd" and "poo". Might want to add something to flag submissions.

500 Internal Server Error when I try to vote either way on anything. It does not appear to count the vote.

I am not accepting cookies (except from explicitly allowed sites); this might be related. If so, the resulting behavior should be something other than 500'ing.

There is a typo. Separated is spelled wrong next to "Add Categories" button.

It would be nice to be able to vote without clicking on a specific category.

Randomize the left and rightness of the choices, and make the "or" centered (make it a 3-column table). Otherwise you will have heavy right-hand bias in the voting.

It seems to me to be a little difficult to see whether 'a' or 'b' is winning, with the vote number in grey. Maybe the text size could increase with votes.

I am addicted already! Great simple concept. Others' ideas about the plainness and being able to vote without going to the sub-page are spot-on though.

Can anyone explain the point of this?

Don't show vote totals before people vote if you want honest votes.

Slap tipjoy on it, i'll give it a tip!
