You really need to improve the design of that website.
We are working on it, any ideas on how to improve navigation? :-)
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.coffeestrap.com/api/v1/users/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://boards.coffeestrap.com' is therefore not allowed access.

Are you planning to partner with other universities in Italy only or you want to spread this idea across europe either?
The Ca' Foscari one (university of Venice) was a pilot that we launched last week. The cool think about that is that we are able to automatically certify people that comes from Ca' Foscari. We are planning to have a 'karma' style reference that goes up based on languages certifications, institutions in which you studied and so on. So definitely yes, we want to repeat that for other Institutions as well.

WE'RE TESTING IT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VENICE, AND WE'D LOVE NOW TO DO THIS ON HN AS WELL.

How about putting that sentence "CoffeeStrap is a place..." right at the top?
p.s. I think your idea is great! But I need more help understanding what's going on :)
I think the HN-specific landing page is not as informative as the actual main page: http://boards.coffeestrap.com/#/welcome The HN-specific page reads like startup satire.
It's not, we're trying to put together people with different backgrounds, and different approaches to langauge. We started from the two context we were most familiar with. The line between what is satire and what is community culture may be kind of thin, especially for online communities such as HN. Don't you think? :-)
I'm receiving a bunch of errors when trying to sign up. Seems to be related to the following: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.coffeestrap.com/api/v1/users/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://boards.coffeestrap.com' is therefore not allowed access. The site also tends to go into 404 redirect loops which eventually crash the tab. Not sure if…
