Great :)

Nothing about your site indicates you'll spam me, but plenty of sites do. I am, and i think a lot of people are, reluctant to log in with Twitter without some reassurance that they and their followers won't be spammed. Just a quick note can't hurt imo.

I love this idea. Good implementation too, the only thing i'd change is:

1) Add an overview page with a much bigger list of ideas.

2) Decrease the font size a bit. I could only see two or so ideas at once on the home page.

3) Perhaps add a voting system of some type?

You also might want to seed it with a bit more content, otherwise you'll have a hard time breaking out of the chicken and egg problem (that's what ended up killing me).

EDIT: I'd also add some indication that you aren't going to tweet as me.

awfulcoder14on Show HN: Leanthingy.com - Rate Startup Ideas

I Love the idea (it does sound familiar..), just a couple nitpicks:

1. Please don't make me sign in with Twitter. Not everyone has a twitter account and not everyone wants to give you access to theirs.

2. I'd like to be able to rate ideas right from the leaderboard. If i'm just browsing and i see an idea i think is excellent i'd want to be able to tell them that.

3. The design struck me as a generic blog design. I'm not sure exactly what it was, but it looked like a generic wordpress blog at first glance.

Other than that, i like it. Good luck!

awfulcoder14on Ask HN: Rate my summer project - BookShout

Really cool idea.

Only little detail that bothered me is the animation at the beginning- being unable to move it left/right.

Other than that i'd definetly use it!

awfulcoder14on Ask HN: review my site: somebodybuildthis.com

I like that idea(heh), maybe in addition to categories? So you could select "View all tools in python" or "View all apps in javascript" or just "View all apps"/"View all ruby".

Thanks for the review.

Sorry about the signup and display- i'll fix those immediately.

Great idea for multiple voting too.

Thanks :-)
