Beau Miles, a most entertaining Aussie YouTuber, is running a project where all ad revenue from this video will be used to buy tree saplings, which he'll plant.
That picture wasn't what I was expecting, which was more like this: http://i.imgur.com/Lx6OiIb.png
solid arrows show chronology, the colors highlight compatibility, dashed arrows are backporting.
* might be an idea to have a feedback link (why I'm posting this here)
* scrolling becomes tedious very quickly. Needs a better overview mechanism. Eg only show the first N lines of a story unless I'm interested.
* Without some notion of how you're going to define relevance, I quickly became way of disliking something.
* You could have a way to like/dislike the author, as well as the post. Ie a way to say "I always/never want to read stuff written by this person".
Much as I don't want Google to shutdown Reader (though I'm also relying on the http://www.reederapp.com author sorting out another back-end), I would suggest that the number of people signing the petition is going to be <= the number of people currently using Reader.
And Google have decided that number's not high enough for them to keep it around.
- The front page needs to offer me at least a one paragraph overview of what the service is.
- Center-aligned text inputs don't work for me
- the first few steps felt fine, being 'forced' to give details of team members etc started to annoy me: I started thinking "just either tell me what it is now, if it doesn't exist, or let me get on to playing with it". I gave up at that point so don't know if there was a working service at the end :-)
