Wait that's absurd.

So as an entrepreneur your idea is you want to go around asking people if they'd be interested in an idea before you decide to invest time into it?

So what happens if your idea is (at least to you) pretty brilliant yet you don't get feedback. Will you drop the idea and move onto the next thing?

So with this logic I assume you have least a half dozen "idea" sites like this and whichever gets the most feedback, that's the one you will invest your time in?

Sigh.

Edit: So I just realized I started pretty much every sentence with "So"

Why can't sites just go live?

I'm sick of seeing these marketing stunts with new startups wanting you to get on the list just to lure you in.

If I'm going to sign up for anything it better be ready to go and use.

Fuck it, just do it live.

Version 1.1 is out.

Fixed a major issue with the last date being incorrectly set if it was selected.

Also added an option to set the currently selected date either as a date or an offset from start date. The selected date is also shown in the calendar with a different style.

My page is referencing the JS files for syntaxhighlighter from the site alexgorbatchev.com. Unfortunately that site appears to be down lately so it's disrupting my code.

I've temporarily removed links to it and am referencing the files locally.

My site and the examples should work now. Let me know if it doesn't:

Matt,

Thanks for the feedback.

The first comment, it was actually a bug that I noticed last night and fixed it. The reason it did that was because I put in a .blur() event on the input and when you try to click the Next/Prev, the focus being lost would cause it to hide. I think it should be fine now after fixing it.

Yes the "wait" cursor was deliberate although it's easily controlled by changing the .gldp-XXX-noday style to not have cursor:wait (where XXX is whatever you name your style)

Thanks for all the feedback!

Updated the website with an updated Terms page and the inclusion of a Privacy Policy page (both based on WordPress ToS and Automattic's Privacy).

Next on the change list is to make the add files and upload icons on the main homepage a little more obvious.

Let me know what you think.

I'm well aware of letscrate however it's not as customizable as what I did where you can name your own drops. Plus once I get drag-n-drop in place it will be a lot more obvious/easier to use.

The reason I did not put DnD in yet is because I wanted to get something out the door without always adding new features or thinking up new features.

But I appreciate your input :)

And yes it's Flash (for now)

I think this is a usability thing.

The red/red is to indciate it's disaled. You'll notice the contrast to add files button.

Once you add files and your details are valid (name, password, etc.) then the button lights up.

Once it's lit up you can press it.

When drops are in progress everything disables.

Perhaps I should make it a little more obvious that it's disabled.

I'm not sure i follow. What's red text on red background?

I actually created something a lot more simpler for forums to use on and once others found out about it, 99% of the content uploaded on it was porn. The domain expired late last year and that;s when I decided to start dropsauce.com

It was something like imgur but a lot more simpler (it was a single index.php file that handled everything)

At least now this time, the content is not browsable by anyone else unless you keep it public and someone knows the random name (or the name you typed).

Fantastic martey, I'll draft something up using that as a guide. Again appreciate the input.

Thanks martey, I'll definitely look into that.

I did add a terms page (although it's not readily noticeable - it's a bar along the bottom with copyright).

HTML5: Polluting the mind of the commoner, making them believe it's the hottest shit since slice bread and that everything else is inferior.

It likely is a different analyzing system but the web appears very much modeled after the audit tab.

I just found it funny that the web gave google.ca 100/100

Nice to see google cheating:
