Overall, http://ourdoings.com/ is beautiful once you've uploaded hundreds of photos. But there are still ugly parts: I'm still not 100% satisfied with the registration page. The headlines page for any given year is ugly. Several features (e.g. using a custom domain) are not self-explanatory. But I'm definitely proud of it.

http://www.apprabbit.com - Turn spreadsheets into web apps. Kinda like Wufoo, except our forms aren't pretty. But we do support setting up relationships between your datasets and we auto generate the views for you. We also have a fairly robust security model that lets you restrict user/group access to datasets both vertically (filters records meeting criteria) and horizontally (restrict access to certain fields). Plus what you're actually creating are Django apps, so (in theory) you can export them when you're done building them and host them on your own servers.

Go to /beta-signup/ to skip the mailing list and go right to creating a real account.

http://inboxSEO.com - daily or weekly SEO emails - see where does your site rank, lots of little UI bugs but it works and we have some paying customers despite the poor UX...

This is fantastic. I've also signed up and am glad you shared this. Something I've always wanted but figured it was out of reach.

This post is great, too. We should make this a regular feature because, how many frequent HN users end up launching a neat product like this and it languishes among blah-blah news links? Tragic.

I've never even posted a launch on HN, but I love seeing them -- it seems like they should be highlighted on the new page or something.

www.appcanvas.com. I posted it here a few days back and was blasted for poor and unintuitive usability. Have been working my ass off on the UX since then. For what's it worth it definitely fits the description here.

I think this is an incredible concept! I tried to use it but couldn't actually enter in any text (FF 3.6.11) but keep at it! This is a really great idea and already well on the way to being a great execution.

Yeah the usability sucks. Right now the problem is that one can use it after 15 minutes of training and become expert in may be few hours of training, after which you can create super complex sites like twitter/HN.

I am doing a UX rewamp and trying to minimize the learning curve. The next version with some major UI modifications and support for all browsers should be out in 2 weeks. Do follow me on twitter or drop a line and I will make sure you know.

This is really not bad at all. Interesting idea with the extensions. I'm interested to see where you go with this.

Nice.

Have you thought about some integrated click-to-call?

(And add border:0; to your images.)
