Jarin, your mock-up looks FANTASTIC! Could you tell me what font that is you used there? I'm not a designer by any stretch of the imagination and am generally clueless about these sorts of things.

Hey no problem, maybe try one of these: .ideaBody { font-family: Helvetica, Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; padding: 0.9em 1.2em; } Or the one in the screenshot: .ideaBody { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em; padding: 0.9em 1.3em; }

Thanks a lot, Jarin! I'll implement this tonight!

@CaptainObvio.us: There's always room for another great site about ideas, but check out halfbakery.com. You might get some ideas from their site. It's good, not great, but has an active user base.

Is half-bakery meant to be somewhat silly ideas or serious ones?

I caused/discovered a bug :) http://captainobvio.us/details/buy-twitter-handles

YOU KILLED IT!!!! :P Probably an error with my controller that does writes to MongoDB - I'll check it out.

After OAuth, it couldn't retrieve my twitter username/picture, displayed them as null.

I had to delete the comments off of that thread - my post oauth-hook failed to retrieve your information. It could be an issue on my end (most likely) or an issue with Twitter @Anywhere. I'll investigate!

I made this in the course of a couple weekends and wanted some feedback on how I can make it better. I've heard email notifications for comments and easier social sharing features so far, but I would love to know what else I can do to make it better.

Here are a few simple CSS tweaks that can improve readability. I only spent a couple of minutes, but I think it helps: http://pastebin.com/WEKswHND
