Ask HN: Review my startup, Beansight.com

24 pointsby Oyinkoabout 14 years ago
Hi Everyone,<p>One of my friend told me that I can get great feedbacks with Ask HN to improve my startups. So let's ask you.<p>I'am working working on a new website where people can share predictions and be rewarded for good ones.<p>On Beansight you can share and record your predictions about what it’s going to happen. You can also read other members predictions and agree or disagree with them. Most important, you can also write comments to argue your position.<p>If members make good predictions, they will earn credibility points and if they earn a lot of them, they will become an expert on Beansight. So they will be able to use their Beansight profile to prove their expertise.<p>We're planning on launching a lot of new features in the coming months, but we've gotten to a point where we'd really appreciate some feedback for improving effect. We are particularly looking for feedback about the UI.<p>Thank you<p>Cyril<p>Link: http://www.beansight.com/

Just a thought: Whether a prediction is objectively good or not is different to whether the prediction is seen as good or not. If you can think of a mechanism to figure out whether a prediction was good or not after the event has happened, the system could then make a second order prediction about whether that user's a good predictor or not. Keep me up to date if you manage to solve any of these problems.

You should check out the Iowa Electronics Markets. <a href="http://tippie.uiowa.edu/iem/index.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://tippie.uiowa.edu/iem/index.cfm</a><p>They do something similar but in more of a traditional market format.

Add it to <a href="http://startupli.st" rel="nofollow">http://startupli.st</a> There the early adopters will be able to follow, provide feedback, sign up for your service, and even recommend it to their friends. Have fun!

Frankly speaking the idea is pretty funny and yes, I am wondering how to you check if sth happend or not. Btw, the UI looks pretty standard.

Lovely design and good effort on the coding. I just don't like that having to log in to vote bit. It's unnecessary in my honest opinion.

Sounds pretty useful. Has nostradam.us been registered?

Typo: "Prouve your expertise" should be "Prove".
