bramm··on Show HN: OptKit v2.0 released (CRO tool)
Great tool. Reminds me of Sumo.me.

Are there plans to release other site optimization widgets?

bramm··on Show HN: Watch movies for free online
So you torrent the movies, host them on your own server, and share them?

Also, any plans for a Mac app?

bramm··on Show HN: Askmormons.com – a Q/A website for discussing Mormons
Reddit for Mormons.
bramm··on Show HN: Need help with our new teaser page
Nope, still don't get it.
bramm··on Show HN: Email templates for onboarding your customers
There are enough free email layout templates out there, but I never know where to start with the content.

This will be enormously helpful to me. I hope they expand to other types of customer related emails.

bramm··on Show HN: Uncluttered – Simple shared status bar messages for OS X
Do I create the key? Where is it generated?
bramm··on Show HN: Not an original idea, but was good practice. Built it in about 5 weeks.
This is what Show HN is for. It surfaced some products that I actually want, stuff I wouldn't have found elsewhere. What's wrong with that?
bramm··on Photomatic
I can't remember if it was on HN or DN, but I have seen exclusive access to a site for readers recently.
bramm··on Show HN: See Which Friends 'Like' Their Own Pictures on Instagram
This is awesome. Not surprised by the results.
bramm··on Show HN: I made this site, I need HN to give it some traction
I figured, sure why not, I'll post an ad for free. But when it asked for a required address and phone number, I decided not to.

Too early for that kid of trust.

bramm··on Show HN: Search HN Users By Interest
Please let us know when it is back up.
bramm··on Show HN: Remote control you Mac from your iPhone's lock screen (No Jailbreak)
Can't get it to connect to the Mac host. Could be my company firewall, but it's not that strict.

I'll try again when I get home.

bramm··on Show HN: iPhone app for parents to help play in the real world
Lovely.
bramm··on Show HN: Gravity Game
I had no clue how to do anything. Looked at the help screen, clicked around, nothing happened. Instructions please.
bramm··on Show HN: I found a way to 'cheat'/solve 2048 (With live demo)
I saw someone else post about this "corner" method and the highest score I've gotten is ~5000, with my highest square being 256. Before that I got to 16,696, with a 1024 square being my highest single square, just by moving it randomly, and I consistently get over 10k. My goal is to get a 2048 square, which is why I tried this method, but to no avail.
bramm··on Show HN: News Timeline Concept V2
I still prefer the dark theme over the previous "lucky charm" theme ;)
bramm··on Show HN: News Timeline Concept V2
I like way of finding breaking news. I live in Washington and have been using this to find articles related to the recent and tragic mudslide that happened here. Much easier than Google news.

I will say the dark theme isn't doing it for me though. A light, clean look would be better. Hope that feed back helps.

bramm··on Show HN: My friend and I built an LDS dating site that we think is pretty great
I like that it's free.
bramm··on Show HN: Clean & Simple Shopping List (my first iPhone app)
How did you go about learning Obj C and iOS development? Books? Online classes? YouTube?
bramm··on Show HN: imgsea – image sharing made beautiful.
I was able to create an account, but I was not able to upload any pictures. I just got a blank page.
bramm··on Show HN: Dear Henry... (we launched our first MVP)
My assumption would have been that some people would use this for more persona or serious things. But after reading a few of the examples, it seems like it could turn into a sort of http://dearblankpleaseblank.com.

That site gets a good amount of traffic, but if that type of site is not your intent, I would try to leverage the look of your site and it's content to guide people in that direction.

bramm··on Show HN: Feedback on my Resume?
I'll start with a few things.

-To increase legibility, I would make the background image more transparent. The higher contrast will make it easier to read.

-Bring the content on top down a little bit, and bring the content on the bottom up higher.

-The animation on the rotating text is way too slow. Speed it up a bit.

-I would line up the large display text with the content on the bottom. Or center it. Right now it's kind of somewhere in between and it looks awkward.

Great start tho. Clean, direct and responsive. I hope this feedback helps.

bramm··on Show HN: I made an app to immortalize inside jokes - Quoth
Really simple user experience. Love it.

I had a similar add-friend-then-add-thing UX idea for a personal project with a different goal.

bramm··on Show HN: SeenDB – Remember all the concerts you've been to
I know it would be difficult because of the amount. But you could start small by either picking a band you think most of your users have seen, or focusing on one of your favorite groups for your local area and friends, then manually building a db of all of their shows, locations and venues. This helps you figure out the process to replicate in the future, as well as demonstrates the simplicity to the users.

Once you have the process figured out, you could start auto suggesting venues and dates that have been entered by others, just as you currently auto-fill bands that have already been entered.

Also, if there were a way to allow people to add bands, dates and venues to the DB that they haven't seen just to help out, that would be a good way of gathering as well.

I'm sure you have already thought of hundreds of things you can do with it, including what I've suggested. I'm just focused on the search and collect aspect because it is such a large pain point begging to be cured.

bramm··on Show HN: SeenDB – Remember all the concerts you've been to
My story is similar to yours; googling to find the dates of concerts. Have you tried solving that part of the problem for your users? People remember a lot of details about the shows they see, but rarely do they remember the date.

Even if you manually created your own database for the dates, that would be a great start. It would be nice to select a band, then a location and be presented with a list of dates and venues they have performed at.

Also, there's a lot of bands missing from the auto-fill. Does that update as people continue to add more bands?

This is a great start.

bramm··on Show HN: Share your photos & videos privately with family
Since there seems to be no free version, or free trial, I think the site needs some more information before sign up.

How are the backups performed? What does the interface look like on phone, desktop?

Looks great though.

bramm··on Show HN: Dead simple photo sharing
This feels more family oriented than imgur. I know that sounds silly, and maybe at some point this will be overrun with meme's too, but in its current state I would rather use this to send an album to my grandma than imgur.
