Ask HN: Evaluate my side project please?

5 pointsby maxbrownalmost 14 years ago
I've been working on a side project lately and I'd love to get some basic feedback and marketing advice - randomfreeapp.com.<p>1. How do you feel about the page? Is it intuitive? What would you change?<p>2. How would you market it/drive traffic?

Have some kinda cool HTML5 transition when you hit the next button. The site itself is just a cool site, so people expect nice looking animations. Instead of generating a random integer and passing it in as an 'id' in your php script, you should look into keeping everything static except the main box itself. To do this, you need to use JavaScript (preferably jQuery, also look into CoffeeScript) Keep the logo at the top and the 2 tiles at the bottom for social media the same. Don't make the site reload everytime you hit 'next'.<p>Design-wise, it's great. Very clean and simple, and the logo's cool.

I'd consider applying CSS border-radius to all of the app icon images. Some of them have a beveled edge and the square edge, which looks a little less proffesional.

1. There should be a blurb about the site. But focus on the 'Why' and not the other W's. 2. Beef up on SEO and spread the word on other sites, blogs

1. looks great. I would suggest fixing the next button vertically so that it doesn't get pushed down by apps with long descriptions.

The ability to go back would be nice, I got a bit click happy and accidentally missed something that looked cool at a first glance.
