    Hi Frej, your MVP landing page is beautifully designed, but it it does not tell me why I would need your product, or really what it is. There are lists and lists of features, but n…

    Love the "As not yet soon on:" logos at the bottom which tweets to those publications about Snapbugz. Great marketing hack.

    Selection bias? Unpaid founders are more likely to be young and roaming HN than the Founder/CEO of a venture-backed startup.

    As a white foreigner who has considered travelling to the US for a holiday or working in the Valley, these types of reports have a long-term chain reaction on my willingness to sta…

    I opted to use TeamCity for all my CI exactly because of the UI. It's not perfect either, but I think it is vastly superior. Bigger install, though and relies on a JVM.

    The reasons to wear a black shirt are far simpler than the author purports: contrast & focus. I learned this while presenting. If you wear clothing with a slogan, you are giving yo…

    > But my fingers don't naturally fall precisely in a line Switching to a Kinesis solved this one for me. All the columns are perfectly vertical.

    +1 because of justified, though anecdotal, experience. Which ergonomic keyboard did you try?

    @jrs99, I explicitly state that I do not expect an increase in speed. Especially when switching to a more efficient keyboard layout, like Colemak or Dvorak, after using QWERTY for …

    @baddox, my fingers' comfort level when looking up a contact and phoning them on my Nokia 3100's is indistinguishable from my ambient comfort level. Why should switching to a smart…

    @baddox, which keyboard layout are on, QWERTY?

    Sean, have you tried any of the ergonomic keyboards which you find pointless? Unless you have, your argument seems a lot like my ol' man's arguments against a few years ago. Atwood…

    Until Jeff Atwood tries an ergonomic keyboard or layout other than QWERTY, I cannot take his keyboard cult seriously. I've owned three MS 4000s and have used QWERTY, Dvorak and Col…

    Thank you, rriepe. It would be great if 1pxdeep let me pick color1, color2 and color3 with sensible defaults.

    This is awesome! Is it possible to have a light background, while still having strong accents?

    I dislike this UI because it adds more questions[1] than it takes away. "Why did it tab? Why is it loading, did I accidentally submit? Why did the tab ordering jump down, then up?"…

    Nice and simple. Slow down the fading text. Consider a carousel. I know they're cliched, but people understand them. Edit: Too much text. Show some screenshots. What are the benefi…

    The article is mostly fluff. There are some new classifications and limitations on which type of posts will show up in users' dashboard.

    Would be nice if I could try out all the languages in the local session, just to drop any remaining objections.

    If you write bad code because your editor makes it easy for you to write code fast, then it is not your editor that is at fault.

    I really want to read the docs, but the contrast is too low and hurts my eyes. Please make your text darker. Refer to http://contrastrebellion.com/
