Sorry to be negative, but ...<p>I clicked the about link at the bottom:<p>&gt;&quot;<i>ProjectXpresso is not endorsed by any firms, but rather is a grassroots effort supported by caring professionals donating 15 minutes of their time and a career full of wisdom.</i>&quot; &#x2F;&#x2F;<p>Which is weird because on the front page you show a handful of &quot;endorsements&quot; as logos of companies who are &quot;participants&quot;. If it&#x27;s only staff from those companies that are involved then this may be a trademark infringement as you&#x27;re certainly suggesting an endorsement by the companies in using their trademarks; you could use their names IMO [but it&#x27;s jurisdictional and IANA(TM)L].<p>On more practical matters; from this page I couldn&#x27;t return to the &quot;homepage&quot; without reloading, the back link was broken and there was no &quot;home&quot; link evident. Similarly when I looked at the &quot;I&#x27;m a student&quot; page I couldn&#x27;t then return.<p>Espresso.

It took me a while to work out what (11&#x2F;16) meant. I&#x27;ve seen some bizarre way to write dates, but this is just random. I know it&#x27;s space limited, but why not &quot;16th Nov&quot;?

Looks cool. But with just a company name and a job title you&#x27;re going to connect me to a student? Seems like you&#x27;ll get a lot of near misses.<p>Seems like you might be better off getting LinkedIn profiles or something and letting students choose from available open appointments.

Completely off topic, but if you were going for the coffee vibe it really should be &quot;Project<i>Es</i>presso&quot;. As a coffee fan, a small part of me dies every time I hear someone order an &quot;expresso&quot;.

Site appears to be leadgen for <a href="http://tradeup.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tradeup.io</a><p>Not that there&#x27;s anything wrong with that... Looks interesting, will check it out. Just sharing.

Cool idea. I&#x27;d like it better if the &quot;professional&quot; icon weren&#x27;t so gendered.

Cool idea, but I haven&#x27;t enjoyed any job in tech yet. Would hate to discourage some kid.

cool concept, i&#x27;m learning to code using a bunch of online resources and have always wondered if that would get me anywhere in the industry, looking forward to linking up with someone who can shed some light.

Would love to talk to someone interested in software. But I&#x27;m not a Skype user; haven&#x27;t used that in 5 years. Not interested in installing it. Wish I could use Teamspace. I helped write it; I use it every day, and its head-and-shoulders a better way to communicate.
