What HN said

What people liked

  • Polished look for a weekend project

    From 2 comments
    • That's incredibly polished for a weekend project. That said, I'm quite confused by the choice of icons on the right of the "Tour" page. The calendar doesn't scream "Test Users"…

    • Your two days worth is looking like a great site! Well done! :) Two points: On the tour page, there are two "tour" headers right under each other, which is strange. I recommend…

Objections

  • Offline access permission is risky for users

    From 1 comment
    • Looks great, especially for a weekend's work. But I think that is a classical example of going too far with the minimum viable product concept. I would never let you have offline…

  • Unclear what it adds beyond existing tools

    From 1 comment
    • I'm not clear on what this gives me that I can't already do. Is it somehow easier to preview dialogs or create test users?

Requests

  • Zoomable screenshots

    From 1 comment
    • My suggestion for the homepage would be to make the screenshots expandable/zoomable. They're so small I can't really make any detail out apart from a few pieces of bolded text.…

    • Looks really good, nice work. Btw, typo in point 1 on home page, launced = launched. Also hovering over the feature set links in /public/tour looks like you've left the default…

Questions

  • How design was done without skills

    From 1 comment
    • I have what feels like a stupid question: Most of the weekend projects I see here on HN look surprisingly polished, this one included. Any quick projects I make just don't have…

  • Which ThemeForest license applies

    From 1 comment
    • Just a question about the theme from ThemeForest - which I didn't know about until now. Looks like you're using this theme:…

    • Template from ThemeForest are what I use to add some polish; plenty of people will criticise for using themes, but in my opinion, and coming from someone with zero design skills,…
