    I have seen so many versions of this same script. The fact is that such header comments at the top of every file aren't that useful. I mean, what do you use them for? The informati…

    I'm afraid I have no real expertise in user-experience so I cannot really say. I definitely think you want, as you suggest, a "How it works" at the very top, centre of the landing …

    That's a very noble approach, but I don't understand how it relates to not showing non-users current dreams? Is it that you have to pay to even view dreams? I didn't get that from …

    So in IMHO the fact that this person cannot see any of the dreams prevents them from understanding. If you really do not want to show non-users any dreams, why not just have a coup…

    You cannot seem to view any of the 'dreams' without creating an account. You are going to lose a lot of potential users this way.

    You're welcome. Thanks for a useful site. Would you like some code review of the source code done? I'm not sure how much time I'll have in the near future, but I can try?

    I like it. The blog site that hosts it has a slightly strange menu, when at 'home' there are three links 'Blog', 'Apps', and 'Contact', when at Apps, there appears to be only 'Blog…

    This looks great. There are a couple of minor bugs that I've come across so far. 1. Occasionally at the 'Prompts' screen, pressing the reload icon causes a blank prompt, which mean…

    It's nice. I like that you don't need to log-in, or create an account, or anything like that to play. A bit more feedback on illegal moves would be a good addition. Even better wou…

    I like the easy way of bumping the version attached to review. That mitigates it to some extent.

    So first off, I like this. I actually quite like the design as well. I absolutely agree that a "latest reviews" or something would be great. The first thing I want to do is at leas…

    The bike itself looks quite neat but this kind of website grinds my gears. Is it possible to buy one? I could not tell from the website. I'm no customer expert but I guess that man…

    Your website is very well designed, to me it looks very nice. On my browser (Firefox-Linux) if I open the hamburger menu on the right, and click, say, API usage, the content is pus…

    I like it. On python-ideas the idea of a curated list of pypi packages comes up from time-to-time. The most recent incarnation was started just last month and you can read it here:…

    I guess I'm struggling quite to see the use case here. For web-site providers themselves they would much rather do the conditional logic themselves because then that would apply to…

    Looks quite nice. For the lazy it is currently IntelliJ, Textmate, Atom, Emacs and Vim. I'm going to guess that adding a new IDE is relatively straightforward depending on how that…

    Sounds great. The landing page, which is nice and light with no visual burden on the user. However, it's not quite clear what exactly a user should put in the single input box? The…

    How is this different from say, Flask, Bottle, Route and the like? Basically I think the README could do with explaining a bit better what is unique to Feather. When would you use …

    If I'm honest, this is a great example of a home page in which I've browsed it and have no real clue what it does or what problem it attempts to solve.

    The cookiecutter project more generally is a great example of a project that started as a small thing for one person's purpose and has grown to be more generally useful.

    The screen cast videos did not work for me. Pressing play just made the video load, but would play for only a fraction of a second. Anyway, I think I about understand the concept. …

    I think it's quite a nice idea, but I'm struggling to imagine myself using this. For a start, I want my tests in my source code repository. Secondly, I want to run my tests locally…

    This is a good point. In particular what happens if you fork a repository, do you lose the meta-data? What happens if you have a fork for coordination of a sub-team, are the pull-r…

    This is beautiful and clearly very useful. Some thoughts: * Business-wise, your main risk is that GitHub agrees how useful this is and builds much of the same features. In a sense,…

    I think this is a pretty good idea, sort of reminds of 'hoogle' ( https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ ) which allows Haskell developers to search for functions based on type.
