Some things I noticed... The homepage fails HTML validation. 32 Errors, 7 warnings http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.listnerd.... Homepage isn't being cached (intended?, in fact you have quite a few elements that have no caching set. Run PageSpeed Insights perhaps? Login Overlay - can't escape to close. Seems I can create a list without signing up? At least, that's what the button click seems to indi…
I like the idea but my first impression is that the front page is a tad overwhelming. I didn't actually read the top green pane until after looking at the images, which may say something about how users look at the content. Perhaps interestingly, my first click was to Browse Top Lists, only to find that Porn Actresses, Page 3 Models and Hentai artists all feature in the top 5 and 4/9 trending lists have the same pink…
Do you use your site? I mean, do you enjoy making and reading lists? Honest question.
This is what people spend thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars on. Building a goddamned new LIST site. Sigh. There. That's your criticism. Shameful.
After having a look and reading your interview with marketingstartups[1], it is quite an interesting idea. It strikes me as an evolved incarnation of Buzzfeed[2] in that the entirety of its content is user-generated, whereas this wasn't the case with Buzzfeed until recently, and even now, I believe user submissions are subject to moderation. I don't think you should give up yet. I wouldn't. I would start by simplifyi…
That's exactly what we're trying to make; a kind of Buzzfeed 2.0, where the "2.0" stands for improved functionality and quality of lists. That's our vision anyway.
I saw your site, looks very cool. Perhaps I could mail you our story?
It lacks the touch of a good designer. Everything seems slightly off... from colors, to fonts, to text placements, to 20 other small touches. It all adds up to an amateurish feel. Some examples: 1. The colors. Ugh. 2. The formatting of the content boxes should be more consistent. All pictures should go to the edge and have the same height. Logos should have padding, not stretch to the edge (e.g. YouTube). Even once t…
The content and audience are I suspect far more important than what your site does at this stage, and you should narrow the scope on both of those. You have what looks like a serviceable site to produce lists (not really a complex challenge). I'm not sure why you think your site sucks? I'm sure you'll get some feedback on styling, content etc (it's not really to my taste, but hey, it's not terrible either), but if yo…
Hey Eric, I thought Listnerd sounded familiar. You helped me out with SEO last year with your Offer HN, so I'll try to give some useful advice back. Sorry to hear that Listnerd is struggling. Listnerd doesn't really grab my attention upon first visit. Maybe I'm not the target market but upon opening it up I'm not interested in making a list. Making a list sounds like work. Why should I spend part of my weekend doing…
The biggest problem I see is that you have no HTTPS support for this site. There are very good reasons for having HTTPS even if you aren't transmitting something you would consider "secret". With modern 64-bit processors and session caching, there's really no excuse for not having HTTPS available on every page. That said, you don't even have HTTPS support during login, which means that password information will be completely sniffable. It's not at all clear from the login popup that this will be the case.
Additionally, the actually design degrades nicely with Javascript turned off, which is commendable, but logging in/signing up is still Javascript-only. Ideally you'd want a site that keeps all the functionality that it can have without Javascript with Javascript enabled. It might look slick for people using Javascript, but you really don't need an in-tab popup for login/signup.
