Show HN: Weekend project, Thankst. Thank and be thanked

5 pointsby luisivanalmost 13 years ago
I just built a website that lets users track the thanks they gave and received.<p>It's a spare time project that I built for myself so it may contain bugs.<p>It uses Facebook login because I didn't want to code a complete login system just for a weekend project.<p>Let me know what do you think about it!<p>http://thank.st

Really well done.<p>Just an FYI: When you're using the Facebook API to get profile photos, specifying ?type=large gives you a photo with variable width and height.<p>What you're then doing with CSS to display it (giving it a fixed width and height of 128px with a 64px border-radius) is distorting the picture.

Wow, I <i>like</i> the design there - did you come up with it yourself?<p>First thought on the homepage is that I <i>really</i> don't like signing in with Facebook without knowing what's on the other side (a couple of screenshots would help me). I doubt that'll put many real-world users off though, good luck!

Didn't log in (like others have mentioned, I hate using FB login without knowing exactly what it does). But - I did go to the "about" page, and you really should get a native English speaker to go over the text.<p>Good luck!

In the vein of <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4396747" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4396747</a><p>1. It looks like a nice professional design so it does not give off initial bad vibes<p>2. The first thing that appears after login is a pop up asking me to get other people to join. I thought this was how to thank people at first. I think this is an unecessary pop up - this is a viral idea anyway, you dont need people to pre-join - the "thank" message will do that for you, so drop that first pop up - very confusing<p>3. I had to hunt around till I found how to thank people. I would put a different UX up front - in fact that pop up was fine - it had about 30 of my friends, just let me click one.<p>4. the search box is fine but I am moslty going to thank friends first surely.<p>5. add it to linkedin - will be a great networking add on<p>6. I want to send a message with the thank, and preview it. I still dontknow what I just sent. THat would worry me<p>Overall, yeah nice but its not a good home for Facebook. Put it on linkedin, and I see it, on facebook, no. But that might just be me<p>goodluck
