Ask HN: Review my startup - Top Ten Dishes

2 pointsby rishikhullar16 anni fa5 comments

Hello! Recently launched http://www.toptendishes.com/ and wanted to engage your feedback. Our goal is to organize, categorize and rank dishes in NYC (and eventually other cities) to simplify the dish discovery process. Trying to make it easier for people to find out where to eat based on their cravings.

Note: Some things we are changing this week: --instead of "The Top Ten Lists" it will read "User Picks". --the URLs of the Expert Pages will be different

Thanks for your time!

Cheers, Rishi

Not enough time for a thorough perusal, but some quick observations:

1) is the flash for the city name really necessary?

2) the pages could really benefit from a more uniform grid. There's no decent vertical alignment.

3) If I click on any picture in a search, I'm taken to the cheeseburger page.

4) The URLs would probably better if the order was reversed, and maybe even with slashes instead of hypens (i.e. all-Gnocchi-Manhattan-new-york -> /new-york/manhattan/gnocchi/all)

Thanks for the feedback! Re #3, what do you mean by "in a search".

Apparently it's gotten that far that I consider any kind of navigation a "search". I meant if you click on any kind of food, and on the result page click on the image of the dish. The Url seems to be correct (e.g. "http://www.toptendishes.com/Samosa~Banjara~-manhattan-new-yo...), but the page displayed is "Home > Top Ten Best Burgers (Beef) in Manhattan, New York > Cheeseburger".
