Re: Show HN: LeanReviews - quick reviews for almost anything
#2Hi HN, I am developing LeanReviews with a goal to make it easier to share opinions about anything people care about. People often have lots of opinions about lots of things but dont usually write elaborate reviews. LeanReviews makes sharing quick reviews almost trivial. I had submitted this to HN about a week ago but could not get any response. So I revamped some things and am resubmitting. I hope I get some feedback - any feedback is good feedback. Thanks.

Hey little bug which confused me a bit.
The placeholder text for 'your review' contains "Search for review eg. Tom Cruise" which is the same as the actual search field.
Perhaps you should change the text to 'lively, beautiful etc'
Theres a D3 word cloud example here - http://www.jasondavies.com/wordcloud
Perhaps you could also change the layout style for the words to make it look more interesting ;)
Otherwise looking good :D

Hey thanks for the feedback. You are right need to look at the UI. Also, thanks for pointing out the bug. Main issue presently is that I am not getting much feedback. Is this form of review/opinion visualisation something that people want? There is a network effects problem.

I think that even if it is only something that interests 25% of people, the data is worth a lot more than the service and perhaps you need to find a way of using it.
Is that something that you're interested in?

you can also try separating negative and positive words in the word-cloud. Looks good!

I think the user submitted reviews/opinions would be very useful. Since review submission is easy, probably a lot of people might choose to submit their opinions. This would mean that we can asymptotically approach the true crowd opinion about something. This is definitely a hypothesis but the content in such a case would be very useful. Lead generation, brand awareness measurement, quick buy/dont buy decision helper, random content exploration, etc. are some possible uses.

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I was also thinking of doing something along those lines. However, dont have enough content presently. Some kind of sentiment analysis would be useful.
