Strikingly beautiful design. Incredibly simple and interesting premise. This site has done a GREAT job of letting the user do one simple thing before enticing them to get more involved. Very well done. One of the best new sites i've seen in a while.

Oh, if you are the site creator, there is a bit of a bug in chrome&FF. the 'ok i'm game' button is placed over the 'x hours ago' line which I suspect is supposed to be above.

I hate to say it, but you loose some points by not supporting IE at all. Not supporting IE6 i can appreciate. But it doesn't take THAT much extra time to support IE7 & 8.

Interesting; it could be used like online petitions, but with actions instead of words. Hopefully most/all large tasks can be divided with such granularity that everyone can take part without major roadblocks.

funny how when people talk about changing the world they never want to get into the specifics of what THEY should be doing. it's always about what others should be doing. so, are we going to force others to go along with us? if we get 51% of the votes we should be able to enforce ourselves on the other 49% with guns right?

You are probably wondering why you can't use the site with Internet Explorer. That's our bad. We're having some issues with making some of the advanced functionality work on the site. We are however working diligently to make this happen! We will be supporting Internet Explorer 7 and 8. (Sorry, no IE6 support, but there are options!) As soon as it's working you'll be the first to know.

They're working on it.

7 employees and 2 of them guys, one a programmer. huh.

What's your point? Granted, I have no idea what they're doing that requires 7 people (and only 2 coders ...).

His point is that's insane :). The general consensus on Hacker News is a good brand new start-up is 2-3 people, who are all coders. I tend to agree with this, except for exceptional projects like search engines. Most websites can be handled by a hacker or two at the beginning.

This site could be done by just one mostly incompetent programmer in short order. What the other six guys could possibly be doing is a mystery. They are probably just slowing down the one guy doing any work.
