My girlfriend and I been fiddling with http://www.TryingTo.com since February. We all try to do something, TryingTo.com is a platform where individuals and companies share what they are trying to do. Still buggy, rough, & rugged. Kindly seeking feedback from HN readers. Please check it out, log in as an individual user username: insurancechapter@yahoo.com pass: 12345678, as a company username: wikiadvertise@yahoo.com pass: 12345678, or feel free to create an account. Thanks.
This looks cluttered.<p>I'd suggest layout similar to fmylife.com. You don't need to require an account for people to use. Allow commenting, only those logged in can comment ? (Just thinking as I type).<p>I'm wondering if this would be more interesting if users generally had a more playful tone. "Trying to finish studying, but 30rock is too addicting!"<p>This comes close to a more specific twitter though, but similar sites exist (thathigh.com, fmylife.com, probably more).<p>Take all of this with a grain of salt. I am just typing whatever comes to mind.
No offence, but firstly I don't really understand the site or it's purpose. Limiting me to only 3 words or less on what I'm trying to do doesn't really seem to have much purpose?<p>It's not clear what I or anyone else using the site is trying to achieve?<p>- Secondly and more seriously, the site seems to be open to XSS / SQL injection, I wouldn't be surprised if the user passwords are stored in clear text too in the database.
What's the purpose of 3 words or less?<p>It loads funny in Chrome 10 and FF4, <a href="http://cl.ly/0s3i0K3t2D3K2C3x0A2Q" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/0s3i0K3t2D3K2C3x0A2Q</a><p>Also, when I click in the search input field in FF4, it takes me to a 404 page.
This is unusable at this point. I think there are far too many bugs to show anyone this. Please get it to a point where you can have someone use it for 5 minutes without a bug that would stop them from proceeding.
First thing that I saw was:<p>"Members Trying To" and then a users name. So my brain parsed it as:<p>"Members Trying To Rose"
"Members Trying To Insurance"
