I started StartUpLift.com to feature promising startups and solicit insightful feedback from users. I would like to ask the HN community to submit startups/websites/apps. There is no cost for this submission. However, in the spirit of keeping feedback ecosystem alive, we do ask that you provide feedback to at least one of the other startups featured on our site before submitting yours.<p>Example:
Hipmunk: http://startuplift.com/hipmunk-better-flight-search/<p>Submit yours: http://startuplift.com/submit-your-startup/
I was thinking of doing something like this. I'm glad to see the idea being nicely implemented. If I may, I'd offer a few suggestions which would make this fit more exactly with the vision I had. Let me know if you need any help.<p>1. The homepage looks great, but I'd add two things: comments, and voting.<p>2. I was thinking of having the top of the page devoted to a "top voted for the week" startup. This gives that startup added exposure, along with increasing audience interest in your site.<p>3. Make it easy to receive the top voted startup each week by email. This increases reach and audience of your site, and I'd certainly sign up my email for that.<p>Good luck!
Are you planning to create a web service which enables the featured startups to cross-reference each other?<p>Like there's Startup A and Startup B. Some user visits A's website and then there's a widget or another page which lists A's sibling startups, so a user may choose to visit B's website. The list would be populated dynamically from your webservice and startup founders may choose which other startups would be included in their P2P Cross-Reference list.
