The only real problem with this website is the navigation. I usually just get very lost on which parts of the site I am on because there is very little of indication of such info.
Other than that, this site seems pretty neat!

#62Reminds me of the deceased oak.io[1].
Scrolling is broken (and slow) on an iPad, it's apparently using some javascript scrolling lib that could be replaced with -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;

#63There's a fork of Google Wave that's alive and kicking http://rizzoma.com Here's a screenshot: https://plus.google.com/100419497458726670190/posts Though I like Ivory's goal and aspirations.
Can I integrate Rizzoma in my web app? Or is it just a standalone web app?
Rizzoma embedding will be ready on October. Box version and version for your own Amazon server is going to be in March 2013

#66Spent a little bit of time playing on this and really really impressed. I've written a progressive enhanced forum (for mobile) and think there's a lot of room for some re-thought ways how forums could work. But! I did find navigating around PIvory a little hard work. I definitely had to think and discover. A lot of menu options aren't visible until you click in certain areas. That's great from a clean-design point of…
Cool we definitely has a problem with: "A lot of menu options aren't visible until you click in certain areas". I hope new version of interface will solve it.
Please let me know about other inconveniences or troubles: tw: @kobzevvv fb: http://www.facebook.com/kobzevvv

#67I would like to evaluate the site, but it is nearly impossible to view from my phone (iphone, safari). If I zoom in on an area, the page resizes itself and remains unreadable.
web-Mobile makeup for rizzoma will be ready on next week.

#68The back button seems to be broken/disabled by this which is very annoying to break default browser behaviour.
Browser "back" should work in the same way. (every topic has own link). Our back button has different feature it play your last changes back (like back button in ms word). May be we should change the icon?

#69http://www.rizzoma.com is much better. The founder himself stayed at my place using airbnb this summer. I'm a YC alum. He has one of the most interesting founding stories I've ever heard. He is a Siberian-Kazakhstani hacking competition winner who knows Judo and runs a series of small businesses in Russia. Bars that partake in sportsbetting-all Legal. He designed the software as a way to manage his businesses with hi…
How is it better? Rizzoma (wave) is so incredibly complicated I feel very overwhelmed when I visit the site. It's like stepping into a fighter jet cockpit.
Actually you right. Rizzoma have too complicated UX. In couple weeks we are going to release new version of our interface and I hope it will much easier in user perception

#70I think I'm having some problems with scrolling. But anyways, good job!
Thank you! The scrolling codes are messy and slow at the moment. I'll rebuild them using vanilla JS. You guys are the reason I can keep working on this.
I'm having problems with scrolling, too, but I'm not sure if it's a problem with the code being slow, or that we simply don't know how to use it.
The front page says "Click page borders and user icons for functions - feel free to experiment", but I think you need some documentation for people like me who aren't smart enough to figure out what they do. I see different colored rectangles and my cursor turns into a resize-top-border icon (??) and clicking things makes other things jump around or disappear but I can't tell where I am or what I'm doing.
A 2-minute tutorial could make the difference between "I'm confused, so I'm leaving" and "this is pretty neat". Of course, it'd be even better if it used controls that I already know how to use, so I didn't need to take a 2-minute tutorial to learn to use scrollbars again. :-)
