Hey, this is a great site. I hope it continues to gather a following.<p>I had an issue with the slider button (to help other hackers) it wouldn't let me move it to Yes. Tried on several machines/devices..hmm. I'll test it again at home.<p>It would be good to see a "live feed" of what people are searching for. It may help people to realise they have important skills they wouldn't have otherwise listed!
This is fantastic. Here is mine - <a href="http://hackerbuddy.com/users/2875" rel="nofollow">http://hackerbuddy.com/users/2875</a><p>In fact, I'm adding it to my own laundry list of links on my blog and elsewhere. Really, great job and idea, and you implemented it well.<p>I love the very easy use of HTML editing on profiles, and I've already reserved my vanity url id (Dylan). Speaking which, it'd be fantastic if you could make the user profile url's /username (as others have commented). It would be more easily identifiable than a set of numbers, especially if you're building a network of hackers.<p>I also suggest adding even more social features. Not on par with a social network, but maybe forms for the typical information you'll find on a professional profile.<p>You did the back-end as well as the design, or it was a split effort with a hackerbuddy :p?
I think this is a really cool idea, especially as I am a remote worker. However, why the focus on startup hackers? Why can't any coder/designer get involved regardless of their workplace? This would be great for freelancers and small agency employees as well.
This is looking great Dave. I'm excited to see where it goes. Here's me: <a href="http://hackerbuddy.com/users/28" rel="nofollow">http://hackerbuddy.com/users/28</a>
Cool idea, I hope it reaches some kind of critical mass!<p>One question though: what does the available/unavailable status mean? I'm unclear what the difference is, especially since anyone who would fill out a profile here is available in some form. You may want to add some clarification, I wasn't sure what to use that for.
Can you make searches return partial matches after exact matches? "General Advice" yields 49 results right now, while "Advice" yields only 3.<p>P.S. <a href="http://hackerbuddy.com/users/2863" rel="nofollow">http://hackerbuddy.com/users/2863</a> here, if anyone needs help with CSS or marketing.
