    kyro, I would actually like to see you do a design that doesn't fall into the "web 2.0" trend. Your designs overall are nice, and flows well, but falls in the realm of "template" i…

    That is true, but the OP never states what the framework is. So I'm stating ideas of what to look for. Also when I mention "common" best practices, those are the buzz words people …

    Quality is a "measure". So regardless you still have to have a basic understanding of what your considering "quality" and what isn't "quality" to you. Otherwise you just shooting i…

    This is just my opinion, but the word quality is a "generic" term. But if you had to judge, a number of things that may be good to look at, is: 1) Are they commenting their code? 2…

    I'm going to upvote this for just the Sesame Street names. Reading the piece with those names in mind, made this a lot more interesting of a read.

    First off, congratulations on being funded, but a number of red flags popped into my head when I was reading your information, and the number you received for funding. 1. Did you h…

    As others have already commented, too much text. The issue isn't really "too much" text, but the way your conveying that text is boring and mundane. If your going to give "bulletin…

    Is it me or is the site even more cluttered than before with the new design?

    Hmm, The part with the pause mechanic is interesting. I'm interested to know what tool that is as well.

    1) Merchandise 2) Popularity (how popular the anime is, can warrant sales in the US). 3) Licensing (check: Crunchyroll.com)

    Why a niche? Why not just set the professional standard for auto parts price searching to include an array of all models old and new. It sounds daunting, but can be done. Unless of…

    Did you apply with an idea / company with only you? Or did you apply as a founder who had a team who weren't co-founders? edit: grammar

    I'm conflicted by this slightly. On one hand I see it as a great idea for great minds to come together, and on the other hand like it was mentioned, this seems to create a lot of a…

    Ask HN: Is it even sensible to learn all the mainstream languages?

    I'm by far no expert in any particular language, but I do have a junior level (sometimes advance) knowledge of C++, Actionscript, and some Web-based ones. I love learning, but is i…
