Hi,thanks for your offer! Can you go to http://www.codemaps.org/e/Lucene and play around with the diagrams and explorations? Its the prototype for the system we are building to help open source developers explore the source code online. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback! :)

Hi Mike, I'm new to coding, and I'm building a site (using php) that I'm going to try to launch as a paid product in a couple of weeks: http://www.gmatboost.com

I'd really appreciate any feedback you have on what I should add, remove, change, be aware of, etc.

Also, I'm not sure how I am going to accept payment yet, so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on how I (i.e. someone with the bare minimum amount of coding ability) could most easily and securely accept payment.

Thanks a lot, it's very generous of you to offer.

Can you think of a way to improve my game's[1] interface, taking into account that it has to work on both mobile devices and PCs? Also, if you find any bugs I'd love to hear about it! [1] http://cardinalquest.com/free_edition/

+ The intro instantly made me want to play. (I love RPGs.) I'm certain you've seen enough Square titles to see how they make epic introductions to their games. I'm not sure what you built this with, but an epic intro is CERTAIN to get people to try your game out.

As far as game interfaces are concerned, I need to understand the mechanics behind your game and spend more time with it than I'm willing to now. I'll spend time one evening going through it and will give a more thoughtful response over the weekend. :)

We just recently launched our first application at http://teamloopapp.com. It's intended audience is to help manage the communication of any type of sports teams.

I'm most interested in feedback on the homepage and if it explains enough of what we do and the signup process through creating your first team. Any thoughts would be appreciated greatly!

The messages when you get items flash by much too quick.

I really enjoyed running around and thwacking things for 20 minutes. Your game looks great!

It wasn't immediately clear to me when I was leveling up - I wish there was a little more positive feedback. I also found it slightly annoying that I had to open up the inventory screen to read what the potions/spells/actions in my HUD do. I wish there were tooltips for those items.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Mike,

I have created a free service for app developers to connect with their user base through discussions, bug fixes and a static FAQs section.

I have some features I will be working on soon (closing bugs, assigning bugs, "private" apps, RSS feeds).

Is the idea just not good enough, or is there something I'm missing that I should be highlighting?

The site is http://www.dcmntr.com/

Thanks!
