Notice that you're using Google App Engine to send your welcome emails, and I'd love to offer you PostageApp (http://postageapp.com) while you're in beta. We'd be happy to help you out with that. :)
Let me know, cheers!
I registered so I could vote on something, decided to see what creating an article was like, and it was so smooth it made me want to start more, and then eventually realize I have been looking for something like this.
I started a list of "Coffee shops in Cambridge, MA" because I remembered that I had been looking for just such a list the other day. I figured it's mostly HN users on there now, probably, and a fair amount of us are from here. I'm not positive what types of lists you're wanting, though, so I won't be hurt if you delete it!
Feature request: I would love to add some simple custom attribute to each list. For instance, with the coffee shops, it'd be nice if I could define an attribute for that list of "Free wifi?" and then each item could select either yes/no as it's created. An article on vim color themes could define an attribute of "Background?" with options "light, dark, both".
At some point in the future, then, you could filter and look at just the items in the list that match an attribute. E.g., I can look at the coffee shops and filter to look at only the ones that give free wifi.
Great work!
This is a really cool application. How do you intend on keeping out crap article and malicious updates? Either way, this is a nicely designed interface and great idea.
Thanks :) For crap articles, people can vote them down, which will move them lower on the new articles tab and popular articles tab if they are voted low enough. Also, I can manually delete obviously crap articles, or close articles that don't fit the format. For crap edits, they can be undone in the history tab of each article. I need to do a little work in making rollbacks easier though. If I get a lot of traffic,…
This is the project I've been working on for the past 6 months. It combines the features of wikis with a voting system that determines the best parts of an article. There's still a lot of improvements I need to make, but I wanted to launch early and get feedback.
Very nice. At first, I didn't really see the point of it - another voting/wiki type thing, sigh - but the interface is so fast and compelling that it just drew me in.

Your other article, "Best Text Editors for Programming", is a perfect article for Listry I think. The Cambridge coffee shops one would be good if there were a lot of Listry users that lived in Cambridge and could vote on it, I'm not sure there are enough though.
Your feature request is a good idea, I'll keep it in mind for down the road.
Great idea Kyle. How are you going to clean up spams? I like that its open but if one person decides to spam you will have lot of clean ups to do.
After entering my abridged version of stackexchange's public web site checklist (http://www.listry.com/list/96005/live-app-checklist), I can see 2 features that I like to see:
- Allow entering just the "details" part of an article Item. Current workflow restricts articles to be more of a sub-level categorization. For simple lists that the article title already describes the article, there's no reason to require an item title.
- Allow option to auto insert list bullets/numbers into text that separated by empty lines.
