Other than that, it's a cool concept ( i had a similar idea ) and it's very well executed/designed.
- would be great to highlight today's date in the calendar
- I don't know about the general populus but I never allow any site to import my gmail/yahoo contacts. The address book also links to plaxo. Can't you implement an import yourself?
- would be great to add a google map widget
so it's renkoo but with a better tumblr-inspired design. that's pretty nifty. definitely need to add on more features but this looks great.
Here's a way you could get people to start inviting without registering. You let them go through the whole thing, and add their own address at the end. They hit send, but the mail to the other people doesn't actually go out until they've finished the registration. That way, they're more invested in actually going through with it than if they have to register to even get in.
If your site has a low value when the user signs up but this value builds as he uses it more (eg. networking sites) then you're probably better off front-loading the registration requirement. My experience.
Kudos for the nice simple styling and layout! A few minor points: - would be great to highlight today's date in the calendar - I don't know about the general populus but I never allow any site to import my gmail/yahoo contacts. The address book also links to plaxo. Can't you implement an import yourself? - would be great to add a google map widget
- Updating the calendar date item is on the top of the list of things to do.
- The address book uses plaxo for now, but plans are definitely in place to replace it with our own import mechanism.
- As for the google map widget, we currently have a mapping feature using google maps if you enter in a location for each event. Is this what you are referring to?
I kinda get what you're doing, but a screenshot or infographic would quickly communicate if it was worth the user's time.
I'm not sure whether I think a big "sign up" button would be better than the two big form fields you have from a conversion POV... But it'd be easy to measure/test. Given most of the big boys have a signup button, I assume your way would convert less well.
Having a different color for strong tags is a bad idea. They look like links.
It's not easy for people to read sideways.
Put it at the top or bottom of the page so users don't have to cock their head to one side. This seems like a curse of knowledge problem---you and most of us on HN already know what it says because we've seen it before. That doesn't mean it's easy to use, though.
Beautifully designed, except for that damn feedback button. Why is everyone copying what I think I first saw on Draftmix? It's not easy for people to read sideways.
