I like the site, and participating in project comment threads. I haven't posted any of my own ideas, but I like that I can earn credit to post it for free by commenting enough.<p>The value of the site depends on having critical mass of knowledgeable people discussing the pitches, but they are slowly increasing the number of projects and the people participating, and it seems like most pitches have at least some worthwhile discussion.
This is a really interesting concept. Whenever engaging in conversation about an app or startup idea, there's usually poor knowledge/idea transfer through solely text. Visuals really help, and I'm really glad LaunchSky addressed that.<p>Has there been much thought into placing ideas within specific categories? While I appreciate the feedback (good or bad) from anyone with actual startup experience who's gone "through the wringer," I would rather get feedback from an expert within the field or industry I'm trying to penetrate.
Very intriguing platform with great initial traction since launch. Robust feedback on LaunchSky could really help sharpen focus and skip a few concept iterations when initially designing a product.
Mods - I noticed the title got changed to just "LaunchSky" and we're now #53 -- in a matter of seconds, and off of the front page instantly??<p>HN posts mean a lot to apps like ours. Can you please let us know why the title was changed as so and what caused the downvotes?<p>While it's very disappointing to jump from the top 10 to way behind in all rankings now, it's also something we would like to avoid in the future.<p>Please let us know what caused this.
It might be just because the OP linked to "launchsky.com/#" but if I follow that link, then click your logo ("launchsky.com"), then I can no longer come back to Hacker News via the back button -- it just endlessly cycles between those two pages.
Looks great, may want to consider boosting the greys across the board. Looks like this was designed on a Mac which has a great contrast ratio, but even then, it was pretty hard to read everything.
