I've been programming hardcore for seven years now and plan to share my apps with Hacker News.

The team was frugal and did what they could on their own to arrive at success. Less than $500.00 came out of their bank account and the time was spent willingly.

I think it was all the elements of the article that led to success. For example, the partnerships would not have formed if the team had not created a great game in a timely fashion.

Interesting observation. Thank you.

Just wanted to stop by and say thank you to everyone who provided feedback. Our website is now MUCH better because of it. We're still working away to get everything implemented and are proud to have made Hacker News a part of our story!

Thank you very much sir.

Very sorry about the registration form not working. I will look into it further.

Can you please ensure that you have filled out the following form fields:

+ email + first name + last name + password + avatar

I think it may be possible that one of the fields above wasn't filled out however it's also entirely possible that they were and our system isn't working properly.

Regarding the social logins, we have been asked this before. I will add it to the list and have it done ASAP.

Thank you for the feedback!

We will add a "New or Used" option when creating a product and display that.

In your particular case, the clock is actually brand new but unwrapped :]

Excellent feedback!

We will make the avatar optional during registration. If you don't select an avatar, we will just use a default round allBST logo image. You will be able to update your avatar at a later date in the account section.

This will be done tomorrow.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about this.

Excellent feedback!

Based on yours and other users' feedback below, we are going to rework the home page so that it accomplishes the following:

1. Use newly designed interface elements for groups that, inside of them, shows the latest 4 to 6 products last posted in that group. In other words, you will basically see a large square, representing a group, with a bunch of small squares inside of it (representing the latest products in it). This will get rid of the spammy look and also emphasize the fact that the elements on the home page are actually groups of products.

2. Modify the header section to explain what the site does and what is unique about it.

I will be working on these items tomorrow and should have them completed by the end of the day.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your very constructive feedback.

UPDATE:

1. Error popups fixed.

2. Attempted to fix tile overlapping problem by adding in a font-loaded event listener that does a tile re-layout when triggered. Apparently, asynchronously loading fonts can cause the overlapping problem. Hard to replicate. Hopefully we don't see this again.

3. Coming up with new layout for the home page to better describe what is going on.
