Ask HN: Please review my idea and holding page

7 pointsby jonpover 14 years ago
I'm looking to launch http://www.birthdaysudoku.com/ in a couple of weeks.<p>I've learned a lot from this community and I'd be very grateful for comments on my holding page, and any other thoughts you may have.<p>I'm also hoping that posting this will force me into launching this month.

Hi Jon,<p>Interesting idea. Seems like it'd be a good novelty gift for my family to get me for example.<p>I guess you are already thinking this way, but it seems fairly natural to offer a birthday card, and maybe a range of other geek products around this.<p>On the product itself, it might be good to do alphabetical sudokus also - for 16x16 sudokus this could lead to some interesting message possibilities perhaps? Also, are there any other puzzles that lend themselves to this sort of customization - wordsearch perhaps?<p>I guess those are the two ways I'd consider expanding on an appealing starting idea.<p>Good luck, and let us know when you launch.<p>Best, Ed.

Interesting idea, the first thing that jumped out at me was that you might want to consider making a page that US users redirect to.<p>In your sample, you have the date listed as 31-7-1965. This is not how Americans display dates. Americans use 7-31-1965.<p>I generalized only saying American's use 7-31-1965. That may be a standard date convention for all of non-Europe, but I have no idea. Don't want the important message to get lost in any confusion.
