Ask HN: Do you workout? Review my startup

3 pointsby bgnm2000about 16 years ago
For any other fitness junkie nerds like myself, I've started excycle.com<p>Its an online sports nutrition store, which focuses on the community trying supplements, tracking the results, and creating an aggregated display of them.<p>This is important because supplements are not regulated through the FDA (unless people start to die). So it helps people see which supplements are the most effective.<p>I'd love any and all feedback!

the concept is interesting and has some potential. however, basing reviews on the numbers that you have posted is dubiously representative at best. there are a lot of reasons why an individual will see gains/losses in performance across the time period that a supplement will last.<p>i'd put more info on the root page about what the site is about and such.

Well it doesn't look like you have much content. The after looking around a bit, i found the 'shop' icon, but thought I was already in it, as it was highlighted. But clicking on the shop brought me to an alphabetical product list by brand. Is this really the way people shop? Particularly on a site which is loaded with reviews, I'd expect to shop by product type, and then make a purchase decision based on the reviews/scores. The way you have it, as far as I can tell, you are expecting people to select a brand, and then look at the products by that brand. That doesn't seem efficient or effective.<p>You really need to work on usability. You've clearly done design work, but navigation needs a lot of work.
