For the past couple of months, I’ve been working with a total stranger, @ahmetsulek. We’ve never met in real life, and our communication has been restricted to Skype. And that’s Skype call, not video.<p>Whilst it’s advised that one should only team up with somebody they’ve known for a long time, I’ve found this not to be necessary. Instead, all you need is a dose of mutual respect and a clear partnership agreement.<p>We’ve been working together for the past couple of months on a web app and Chrome Extension that aggregates sites like Hacker News, Designer News, Sidebar.io, Behance and Dribbble into one place. Why? To make an easier browsing experience.<p>Meet http://geisha.io<p>Let us know what you think.<p>@williamchanner
Looks great, shame about the name and logo. If you wouldn't call an app "Hookers", I don't think you should call one "Geisha"..
Very cool. I love it.<p>Two things:
How can I view comments on the link to the left?
This is a minor point. I didn't know what some of the icons so I was initially confused as the differences between the center and left.<p>The scroll ball on visual content to the right and the number list "scroll bar" on the left side works out very well. Nice touch.<p>Edit:
Also, I think the animations from when you switch between popular and latest for both columns should be consistent. I liked the pop-in effect when you do it with the pictures.
You should have the URL go directly to the page (and indicate that an extension is available there.)<p>If I was going to your site regularly, I'd hate to have to type in /app each time (and the autocomplete wouldn't necessarily go there.)

I love stories of this kind of successful anonymous collaboration. I can't help but think that they will only become more common/cross-border. Keep it up!
