Offer HN: GUI redesign

22 pointsby retro212over 14 years ago
To jump on the bandwagon of helping fellow HNers, I'm offering to redesign one screen of your GUI for free. Requests will be processed by first come, first serve principle. Also if there will be a lot of requests I might not be able to do all of them, but I'll try to do as much as possible.<p>You can see some of the stuff I did on my blog at http://retroaktive.hibreedcms.com<p>Note: I will focus on application design, if you need design help there is another thread at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1831960

Our website is a collection of interactive novels (aka "Choose Your Own Adventure", but that term is trademarked).<p>Specifically, <a href="http://www.choiceofgames.com/romance/" rel="nofollow">http://www.choiceofgames.com/romance/</a> could use some sprucing up. There's a lot of clutter on that page, but it's hard to decide how to trim it down. Those "share" links are pretty important to our business, but they're so ugly where they are...<p>(Obviously we need visual design help, too, but I recognize that's not in the scope of this offer. Over time we'll certainly want to customize the visual style for individual games, like we did for <a href="http://www.choiceofgames.com/dragon/" rel="nofollow">http://www.choiceofgames.com/dragon/</a> but having a nice "out of the box" design would be fantastic.)<p>Thanks!<p>dan at choiceofgames.com

Wow. This would be _really_ helpful!<p>I have an Android app that I've been working on. The primary purpose is to let users see the apps their friends have so they can discover new ones.<p>You can see screen grabs @ <a href="http://www.appadvocate.com/screenshots2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.appadvocate.com/screenshots2/</a><p>But the one that I really need help on is the home screen: <a href="http://bit.ly/ackPgK" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/ackPgK</a><p>The most important things for a user to look at are Friends (shows a list of friends and how many apps they have) and Friend's apps (shows a list of apps the user doesn't have but are being used by friends).<p>And I'd also like to figure out a way to encourage people to invite new friends to join them.

It would be awesome to get some help on this website i am working on. My wife is a Realtor and I've been motivated recently to work on something which allows people to find realtor's that live in proximity to their neighborhood and so on. What I haven't been able to come up with a design for the Realtor profile pages.<p>the website is: <a href="http://www.nearagent.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.nearagent.com</a> - i would be interested in trading services also.

Thanks for the great offer.<p>Our website is <a href="http://www.longlongago.in" rel="nofollow">http://www.longlongago.in</a> an online library for children's books. Two of our common questions are (esp. new users to computers) is how it works, what plans you have. Of course both the information are available in home page! So our design is not reaching out to all users. Would be happy to see a redesign. Thanks.

Wow. This is an amazing offer of service. A SaaS company I just launched (<a href="https://www.seqcentral.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.seqcentral.com</a>) could use some UX/UI help on the internal application pages. To see the internal pages, you can simply create a free account. The jobs/dbs/collabs pages are all similar and a common layout/theme would help immensely. Send me an email if you need more info.

If you still have the time, it would be great if you could take a look at wadokukogo.heroku.com (for example: <a href="http://wadokukogo.heroku.com/search?q=aka" rel="nofollow">http://wadokukogo.heroku.com/search?q=aka</a>). It's a classical japanese - german online dictionary, and I don't really have a good idea how to display the results in a way that's easy to read and still nice to look at.

Thank you for this!<p>One side project I'd like to get back to is my fork of JSettlers. Here's a screenshot of the game screen: <a href="http://imgur.com/aAokt.png" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/aAokt.png</a><p>So far, I haven't given the UI any love, but hopefully your comments will inspire me.

Hi guys. I can see there were a lot of replies over the night (in my time zone). I'm starting to work on them and hopefully I will be able to process them all.
