#12Design language is great. Improvements: - What can I barter? Why not show items available for bartering. I won't sign up unless I know what I'm signing up for - Navigation should always be on top even if it looks better somewhere else. User behavior trumps aesthetics in some cases - Remove the expanding buttons!!! It is very unintuitive! They do not need further explaining - About us page is very small. Go into more…

Nah, the bottom is more functional. Don’t change it.

#13You are sending verification emails from a gmail account and gmail is flagging the email as phishing, you must switch to a noreply@youbarter.com
Not a noreply. I hate noreply. Why not "hello@" or "support@" or something -- anything -- with a human being behind it? :(

I second showing the available items. There’s little incentive to sign up at the moment.

You’re breaking a basic user expectation while delivering little value. I say don’t reinvent the wheel and put navigation where everyone expects it.
