ektimo··on Ask HN: Feedback on my project

ektimo··on Ask HN: What percent of iPhone apps make less than $100?
Are you getting more than 550 sales per review or less than 200 (for your total number of reviews)?
ektimo··on Ask HN: how do you decide which idea to use?
One thing that would help for evaluating your ideas is to include links to existing sites that are most similar. This would save the evaluator time in getting the basic lay of the land and show whether you're aware of the strongest competition.
ektimo··on Ask HN: What should I do with this project (HandyFind)?
I agree that's really nice... but what happens when the text isn't found? The feedback is that the page brightens. Even if I know to shift my eyes to the entry field, it feels odd to me that the feedback for something going wrong is that the page lightens up.

Sorry about the sound and thanks for the feedback. I knew it sucked but it was going to come down to that or nothing.

ektimo··on Ask HN: What should I do with this project (HandyFind)?
My biggest complaint with current search in all the browsers is that if you don't find what you're looking for, it takes a while to realize what has happened since there is no obvious feedback (though FF is pretty good). Also, it isn't obvious if you have wrapped around or it is hard to find the text if the font is small.
ektimo··on Ask HN: how do you decide which idea to use?
Also: Ask people you know, especially people who will be qualified/candid enough to tell you what is wrong. Asking HN was a clever idea! Asking people in person is also important.

I think this is an important question. Anyone else have suggestions?

ektimo··on Ask HN: how do you decide which idea to use?
Start with a small one, predict how data will turn out and see how close you get. Then go for a bigger one. Disclaimer: This opinion based on (almost) no real experience.
