aderaynal··on Ask HN: Please review my startup (fantasy sports mashup)
No complaints from anyone yet. but better safe than sorry. Yes the Yahoo APIs are coming soon, but it will be a long time until the other game providers follow...

good points. For sure, I will implement your suggestions in the coming days. Thanks!

great feedback, Andrew! Thanks, I will definetely make some changes to my home page. You are correct about the "home grown" feel. I am a developer and didn't have any budget to invest in outside help. This might change soon.

please suggest fftoolbox to contact us... Our goal is to aggregate content from as many sources as possible.

about the time lost you lost checking waiver wire lists: that's exactly what I experienced, and why I decided to create Pickemfirst!

I don't really want to perform add/drop transaction in the add-on. The main reason is that I don't want yahoo (or others) to complain that I am taking page views from them. Giving the user the chance to review the transaction is also a plus.

The video does not show it but we've started to insert ads inside our browser extensions. We'll try to keep our product free, that's our goal.

I agree with you. New players have no chance when facing experienced fantasy players. This make them more likely to drop out during the season and make everyone in the league unhappy (including the experienced players). BUT if the beginners had tools (like Pickemfirst;) they will be able to compete right away... I feel that Pickemfirst does lower entry barrier, at least that's waht we had in mind when designing it.
