Ask HN: Please review my MVP - Instant Drop Box

I like the idea, it's like uservoice, getsatisfaction etc only really really simple.<p>My only complaint is the fact you've called it 'dropbox' most people associate that word with a file storage/sharing device (such as getdropbox.com or the OSX dropbox).<p>Perhaps 'comment box' would be more appropriate?<p>Also, you may want to add some flood control - I was able to bombard my test account with all manner of crap ;)

innovative.<p>i'd brush up the design usability. you're on the right track, but i'd avoid the float right/left on the form labels/inputs respectively on a flexible layout, because it makes it harder on the eyes.<p>also, perhaps set a cookie or something to allow someone to possibly go back to their last created dropbox from the main page. would be more convenient for the people who lose their urls. and/or an option to enter their email address and have the urls emailed to them, and maybe new comments.

I like the simplicity of the concept, however, it would be very helpful to provide a Javascript widget (a la UserVoice). As well, having the ability for the user to choose (or change) the given URL to be more readable would be a plus.

I like it a lot, quick and simple. I've been looking for something like this for gathering quick feedback on small sites, instead of forcing users to go through the whole getsatisfaction &#38; co process.<p>If you'd add some JS snippet for including it on a web page (popup etc), it would be very helpful. Also, email integration (both for mailing the admin URL so the user won't lose it and for sending user feedback) would be great.

Decrease the size of everything. Or if you're set on the size, at least increase the contrast.

I like the concept.. suggestions:<p>- the URL of the dropbox and the admin page should be human-readable<p>- some way to find my dropbox if I have lost the URL (see suggestions by noodle)<p>- some way to integrate it as a widget in my own site

I really like the design and the logo. Are you a designer? Did you find someone else to work on that? (I'm interested because I'm looking for a way to have a good looking design)

Could you replace your image buttons by text buttons (or at least better image buttons). The buttons I see on my 15-inch monitor running ff3/ubuntu are really ugly)

Good idea. It would be nice to have a JS widget ala Get Satisfaction that could be used to provide feedback without leaving a site.

You did a good job communicating what this app does. Add to the front page, "Why do people need this?"

How are you protecting against spam? How do any of these no-signup services protect against spam without resorting to captchas?

Show me the user agent and IP address of the user.

What does MVP stand for?
