Show HN: Voxxcast - my first web app

5 pointsby Gobitronover 14 years ago
Long time lurker, first time poster here. I have been teaching myself web and app development and I just built my first web app in my spare time.<p>It's called Voxxcast, and it allows you to leave voice messages on Facebook via your phone.<p>I'm definitely interested in any feedback you can give me. I plan on creating a lot more apps and developing this one even further.<p>http://www.voxxcast.com

Interesting idea.<p>I'd work on the design a little. The not-in-use buttons (by default, 'Login' and 'Register') look a little bare. How about putting an arrow frame or light green square over them (when not in use). That will help to break up the giant green block.<p>The text itself could also use a little work.<p>I would probably cut out the ads too -- I can't imagine <i>that</i> many people would click on them, and their presence drags down the rest of the design. You probably won't make a ton of money from this, so think of it as a marketing tool to advertise yourself, not a way to make a few bucks a month.<p><i></i>Other question: I'm curious as to how long you've been teaching yourself, and what previous programming experience you have? I'm currently teaching myself Ruby (with little-to-no programming experience) in order to launch a start up.

Are you planning to support Twitter or email ? Can I post links of short voice messages on my stream or send them to my friends through email?

What are you using for voice on the backend?
