The shade of blue isn't pleasing to my eyes, or maybe that there's just so much of it is what's hurting? I'm not a color or design specialist, so this is just my opinion and might just be preference.
Very neat site though, I could see myself using it.
Very cool. Just found out about a few concerts I hadn't heard of in the area. I would use this much more if 1. it were mobile and 2. it really emphasized the events.
Not a major issue, but it could get weird.
Nice job on the new UI, btw. It's been awhile since I've logged in.
Ha. Just found something kind of hilarious. I can make it think that I'm exploring the same city many times over. So, if I actually shared it, it would say "I'm exploring Boston, Boston, and Boston..." Not a major issue, but it could get weird. Nice job on the new UI, btw. It's been awhile since I've logged in.
Overall, this is really excellent. My town is small but near Silicon Valley, and this does a great job of showing me stuff that's actually near me. Well done! I imagine it's going to be hard to present information in the same way for large and small towns... Maybe you need some kind of a city/busy/crowded interface to give categories and narrow down, but for a little place without much of interest you just showed pag…
Great to hear you found some new stuff. If you logged in, you should start to see friend check-ins and things that are trending. Do you think time of day would help or search instead of filter?
How long did it take you from conception to launching the site?
I happen to live outside hipster nation, so it took a while to load stuff. It did OK at letting me know this was in progress, but it could have been better. Had I not been reviewing it, I might have abandoned it.
Going to the second page of items took longer than it should have.
Returning to the site, it seems to want to start over acquiring the location. Can you not insert some memory for place in a first-party cookie?
The place-locator button won't turn green unless the place is spelled perfectly. It's case sensitive.
You might rethink the "generic" language shown to those who decline fb / tw access. Of course, if your monetizing scheme requires access to those services, maybe you're doing the right thing.
I live in a place with lots of summer visitors, but right now it isn't summer.
Data-wise, it seems to repeat items when there aren't enough items to fill its UI. Maybe it's only fair that there should be lots of dunkins and starbucks on line; there are in real life. But it's a little hokey looking.
The Google Maps placemark (red ice-cream-cone with rectangle in it) is recognizable. It looks like an affordance to get to a map. But it isn't. The scroll-in Click To Expand does exactly the same thing as clicking on the picture or the placemark, as far as I can tell. Also, the cursor doesn't change anywhere within a place listing. Lost opportunity for UX depth?
Thanks for the chance to review this. All the best.
