kjf··on Ask HN: Please review my new website
:) That's fantastic. I haven't seen that site before.

:) That was for another website. In the end I used the advice I got here and told them to up the offer or to forget about it.

They didn't up the offer enough so it never went any further. It's been about 8 months now and I don't believe they have done anything with their idea so I guess I made the right decision. If you're interested the site mentioned in that link is this one: http://www.lost.ie

Thanks, this will definitely be on my list of things to fix. When you've been working on something for so long the non-obvious stuff tends blur as you know the site like the back of your hand. Getting a fresh pair of eyes on it really makes a difference.

Definitely. It's already possible to tweet a review by hovering over it. This should display a few different ways of sharing it. If you select twitter then it will shorten the permalink to the review, add a #onesentencereview hashtag and populate the status with as much of the review comment as can fit in the remaining space.

I have certainly thought of reversing this this by checking for the #onesentencereview hashtag and populating the review that way. Might be a cool weekend project for me to do while watching the Oscars.

I agree with with you about the logo. I'll need to fix that. Reviews should be sorted in descending order. Do you mean having an option to change the sort order?

Absolutely. One area I feel similar sites are lacking is linking in to the the social space so that's definitely something I'll be doing. Thanks for the bookmark :)

kjf··on IPad ergonomics: "he looks uncomfortable"
Pointless article. Why can't people just wait until the device is released and hold one in their hands before trying to judge how comfortable this thing is.
kjf··on Should I sign over my site for a small stake in a company that does not yet exist?
I certainly agree that 10% of something is better than nothing but the problem is at the moment I'm getting 10% of nothing as they only have an idea.

They could pay someone to build a site but then mine would still be around which would be competition for them.

kjf··on Should I sign over my site for a small stake in a company that does not yet exist?
No, not quite. They would require me to make some changes to the existing site and more than likely some further development. The equity would increase by a small amount with any extra work.
