Hey also there's an awesome "What's new" section in the help menu on my instance which links to the release post.

Hi everyone - We're investigating different ways how to use games & puzzles for digital marketing. We're especially interested on experimenting with: how to acquire leads, improve brand engagement, do social media and increase customer retention.

If you're interested please join our beta program. You may email us at beta(at)zestoy.com )

Austria is quite a small country and I wouldn't assume culture differs a lot across companies. Which type of work was it?

Making people smile and cherishing their souls is also a serious endeavor in addition to all that you mentioned )

I wouldn't notice I had to tap on words to hear how they sound. Is there a way I can search by words or see which words I have trouble with?

Hi everyone, here's Zestoy - a place for animations, puzzles, games, live backgrounds, toys based on Canvas/WebGL, which you can embed, fork and customize.

You may play each game, embed them on your website by clicking the 6 small images under each game and getting the embed code. To customize and fork: Click the + sign at the bottom right of each game to fork and create your own version by customizing the fields in Settings and Advanced tabs.

We know we still have a lot to build and fix and currently have around two dozen game types but anyway we appreciate your feedback.

The theme builder has a focus on mobile-first responsive design. It makes use of machine learning algorithms to select the best combinations of creative elements built from a data of 20,000 websites and premium themes. We plan to open source it on github. You may build yourself a theme.

This is the new iteration of our machine learning based WordPress theme and creative design generation. Now you can build themes online by selecting color, layout, font and some other parameters.

I tried all 3 service currently on HN home page, this one is a lead collection service but is the most evolved one, allows uploads for instance. Just wish I could select not one but 3 or more devices at once (like the latest model of each)

I tried to make an example. 1. I wish there was a possibility to upload next to drag drop 2. The aspect ratio requirement could be relaxed by making it a recommendation and using a "cover" mode for the screenshot.

Unfortunately, the demo link doesn't work (http://aarnis.com/demo.html).

aha ok. i m deleting..

Check this for instance: https://resimit.com/?rc=aujgxsxj Do you think it's something a non-designer could do?

The integration algorithm merges orthogonal dimensions based on human feedback. For example, a monotonic color scheme with 3 columnar layout, flat design and no borders could be a few of the orthogonal parameters. Final feedback comes from humans, and I guess that ll ensure an overall harmonic result.

With newer iterations and more feedback it's getting better indeed.

Edit: I appreciate your critical thinking.

Thanks for the great hint.

:-) I'm sure good designers will never get obsolete. I responded with technical details to some sister comments.

We backpropagate the user feedback about a particular theme to its design element parameters. Then we use new parameters to produce better themes.

I responded to a sister comment with more details. By machine, i mean machine learning algorithms... Yes i agree that hiring a good designer might produce excellent designs.. That's our challenge, to iterate till we pass a point of neat, elegant designs..

Initially we made a statistical analysis of 10K web sites on particular design choices such as layout, color scheme snd colors, fonts, decorational elements. We also made a rating review with 500 people to judge themes with some ratings... Then we backpropagate the ratings to suppress some parameters and produce newer themes with more of the good ones..

Hi everyone, this is our second iteration of machine designed website templates. Currently we're only generating WordPress themes, but we're also testing static & Drupal templates for a given design.

Our goal is to do creative visual design using machine learning and AI algorithms and to provide diverse creative elements with minimal configuration or customization.

It's a bit hard to separate sample content from theme characteristics, and we're aware we must show fancier preview content.

Anyway, I appreciate any feedback on what we're doing, what we've done, and what we could do better.

You were right about screenhots, they are now fine.

Currently design decision parameters come from a statistical analysis of a few thousand existing themes.

The 5 star rating, preview and other user feedback will be used to train machine learning algorithms to generate better ones..

Finally the example content may trick people to think themes are the same, but they are indeed ensured to be different..

Thanks for the valuable feedback.

It's already a big plus for him, if he sends this online resume only to his own network. The animation clearly pictures his capabilities and indicates the type of people he wants to work with.

Leveraging your own network may mitigate some of the risks in this article.

<<"Rule #1- It’s much better to say ‘no’ to the right person, than ‘yes’ to the wrong one"

The rule #1 increases the chances of your hire to be a great person, but slows down your hiring, which may mean missed business opportunities.

..which Cook removed anyway. Does anyone know how the hiring is done for such a position,? http://allthingsd.com/20130107/apple-cant-afford-buyers-remo...

I am curious what her "Head of its retail efforts" job description reads like?

I had the same issue, couldn't see the underwear at all. And finally after seeing the people in pictures, I can see. Internalization requires a lot of effort.

That's a useful post-mortem full of lessons in every aspect of managing a startup.

So it's time for a 'Show HNtM', which shows HN the Money :)

That said, Show HNs are one of the most exciting parts of why HN rocks, even if they don't yet make money.

Apparently, we are in this future where everyone is a world-hero for 15 minutes.

Normalizing per total users or karma has also some side effects. The demographics of HN user base has most probably changed during the past years as well as number of interesting stuff produced also changed. Now there is more submissions more competition.

So there are 2 cases. First one is when a startup offers a brilliant product with the 'wow' and 'aha' moments. It spreads like crazy. Second one is when a startup with less striking product comes, executes well, pivots a lot and steals networked users from established ones.

In all cases once a startup becomes dominant, it starts limiting and throttling their APIs fearing others obsoleting themselves. So the lesson, is to find a new grownup startup, which is not yet defensively throttling its platform or not yet pursuing ultimate monetization of its network.
