And my question would be, why did it get to the top of Hacker News? I tried making a website like this and failed to get much notice.
She is cute...

#173love the initiative & hustle. dropping her a note now about our designer position
You don't mind hiring someone who clearly has her sights set on a different company? To the extent that she even registered a domain name professing her personal interest in said company?

#174So HN: Why does this get voted up because of the hustle and for her actually "doing something", and yet there are Rate My Startup posts of actual somethings that go unnoticed on a daily basis? Check out the "new" and "ask" pages to help some of those people who've put a lot of effort into their executions by giving them more exposure.

#176Don't want to sound rude, but the lens ("I made this") has pretty bad type work. Kerning is off, the curve is not right ( http://i.imgur.com/tpDqv.png ). The drop shadow is also strange. Overall, there's not enough attention to detail.

Re: I wanna work at Instagram
#180Wow. Reading the negativity in some of these comments makes me want to think twice about sharing something I've made with HN. That's a bad thing. It's not perfect. It's not the first time anyone's ever had this idea. Maybe you wouldn't hire her. Who cares? Not everyone's running for best-most-perfect-idea-in-the-universe-ever. She made a thing. Good on her.
