What is it? List Gorilla is a place to find and create lists of all the things you care about. The items in each list are sorted and curated by you and the community. Whether you are into food, science, cinema or something more obscure, make a list about whatever interests you and watch how it evolves.

Feedback Any feedback on the idea, execution and performance is much appreciated. We have some ideas about where we would like to take this idea but I'm also very curious to hear yours. You can also email me directly at oneintenthousand@gmail.com

Thanks, Jason

Great design, and although the idea seems trivial I clicked around quite a bit. I could imagine to visit the page with my phone occasionally if the mobile client is well-made. Can't test right now.

First Hacker News project listed here that I have clicked around and enjoyed for ages. Really nicely executed. With a lot of play it may well become very useful for making snap decisions.

Would like to sign up without linking an existing account, don't want to sully my social network if you do something untoward. Trust is earned.

Fair enough. That is one of the things we plan on doing soon enough, we have a list of features to get through but it will get ticked off at some point.

Thanks for the feedback.

Glad you liked it.

Mobile is an interesting space for this content type. I can imagine a user getting relevant lists depending on their location. Actually location and localised content is going to be a big challenge for us - we can see patterns developing where users are creating lots of location specific content that may not be relevant to you.

Saying that, I signed up anyway (to add to the feature list :D)

I really like it. It needs traction to make it useful but it is fun and could be sociable. The idea is trivial, but that is nice: everyone loves top 10s.
