Hmm, thanks for the heads up, I'll have to look into that. I don't know what would be causing that.

Ya, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I know this is the last thing you want to hear on launch day!

#24Only problem I see is incentive to write on your website. People write on SOF or HN for reputation, why should they write on listry?

#25Congratulations on launching a Beta! The site is visually pleasing and the layout works.
I noticed one small detail that is jarring and it should be a simple style fix. The location of content contained in a div or span shifts when you change categories on the "New Articles" tab. You should be able to see what I mean by selecting "New Articles" then watching the Listry icon in the upper left move to the right (or left) after selecting another category from the list.

#26Congratulations with your launch! It looks like you've got a nice hybrid between HN/Reddit-style voting and Stackoverflow-topics, - personally haven't seen such a site before. It'll be interesting to see whether you'll succeed building a community around it. Any plan-of-attacks on gaining traction?
Thanks! Yea, building the community will be the tough part. I was planning on writing high quality articles on Listry and then hopefully some of the people that read the article would want to add their own input to the article and that's how they would get started contributing. Any suggestions?
Source articles from Wikipedia and Stackoverflow! As long as you attribute it should be fine, and a good way to build some content.
Congrats, cool site :

One reason could be if you wished there was good resource on a topic.
For example, if you wanted to convince someone that they should develop for iOS instead of android, you could start an article on Listry titled "Reasons to develop for iOS". Then add a few reasons of your own to the article, and then other Listry users could add their reasons, everyone would vote on the best reasons, and then in the end you would have a good resource of all the best reasons to develop for iOS.
A reputation system would definitely be a good thing to have too. I was thinking about creating one, but decided to launch early, and then improve the site over time.

Thanks :). I see what you are talking about, it's because the main page is long enough to have a scrollbar, and then when you choose a category, there isn't enough content to need to show a scrollbar, right?

#29Are votes really a 1-5 rating? I thought it was bit counterintuitive (I guess in my experience "votes" are typically binary). How about allowing just thumbs up/down?
From this being the top comment, it seems everyone agrees. I'll add it to my to-do list :)
