Dear IBM... you suck at communication! Take a look at their Watson LP (http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/) If you don't continue reading blog articles comments and do some tryouts you actually have no idea what they want to sell you and EVEN LESS how exactly you can use it.

It just doesn't look worth cracking... Probably someone wrote down what he thought would be super secret information, that nowadays seems laughable...

Certain elements work very well with Material Design, but one thing that is not working for the web are input fields and text areas. I tried it out for one of my projects and I didn't like it at all. It's very counter intuitive and text areas are a pain if you want users to be able to write more then 3 lines...

Fixed

What's the point without https?

Does anyone know WHY hackful.eu didn't work?

Interesting idea but kinda hard to accomplish. How would one determine what is of global interest and therefore maybe shared? I think it works best if you check HN for global "news" and BHN for Berlin "news". I don't see a problem with that.

I am not trying to split up the community. HN is global and this is good. BHN is local and also focused on showing local startups. That being said it can't obviously have every hour 200 new submissions. It is more about sharing your experience in Berlin and getting to know the Berlin startup scene. I honestly think that submissions will stay on the front page for ~1 week and this is also how it was calculated.

I was not counting for BHN to be on the front page so I am trying now to fix all the small things that pop up.

Edit: As I mention in te FAQ this is an experiment and if people continue to contribute I will try to push it into a direction that makes it valuable for everyone interested in Berlin.

I can't see how some of the examples are "great" design. Yes great for a consumers wet dreams, but there are other "situations" you hadn't thought of. Coca Cola yes great... for Diabetes... the ONE WORLD FUTBOL super awesome for lasting a very long time and polluting the environment while it slowly falls apart for a super long time. What I am trying to say: This is all good and nice but consumerism shouldn't be the main "desire" to satisfy when thinking about design.
