Depends on who you are. Some people say they are going to work from home and just use it as an excuse to do nothing. I'm incredibly more productive when I wfh. Not than I'm unproductive in an office environment, just more productive when I'm in my basement hacking away.
OP, if you are on an android phone the Hacker News 2 app has this feature. I've often wished for it in the browser. I'll check out that chrome extension in the mean time
I just tried it. The collapsing is great and easy to use. Clicking anywhere in a comment to collapse makes sense. Then again, that removes your ability to copy/paste, quote someone, etc.
Also, everyone will not use this or the browser extensions. We all need access to the same basic tools in order for the overall quality of discussion to go up.
Thanks again though, I didn't know about this one. I'd consider using it if it were not so slow and didn't just crash on my N4, doh! =)
What an interesting concept. For developers, it's easy to see the value in hiring an established team. I'm glad the companies you spoke too also saw that. I wonder if this could be applied to even smaller groups, say 2 or 3 developers who have worked together well in the past.
We didn't get hired "as a team" but I started a gig about a year ago and during the interview process we talked about other types of roles they were hiring for. One was a perfect fit for a buddy of mine so we had a quick discussion about the benefits of hiring us both. It's a remote gig but my buddy and I are local to each other and have worked well together on previous projects. They wound up hiring us both but put us on separate teams. I felt they really missed out on having the two of us mesh well right off the bat with little social ramp up. They never explained why they split us up, so I can't begin to speculate.
Their call to action signup is pretty slick. Full page on page load, then no longer accessible once you scroll down or refresh. First time I've seen something like that in the wild.
I'm not sure I really get what is going on, or how it's different than other ads that I'm shown before I get to the content I was looking for. Can you break it down for me into some simpler language?
UX/UI wise, the loading indicator at the top is good. The scrolling is a little laggy. I think it would be hard to read all the content and figure out what is going on in ~20 seconds.
however when you use our software the people that are sharing the news articles or blogs can ad their own ad to get more value from sharing news/content to their audience on social.
When you say "it would be hard to read all the content and figure out what is going on in ~20s" are you referring to someone having to process to much info like the text at the top of the loading bar plus the advertisement that is being shown (like this donation page: http://lnkplg.co/RGPp )?
Maybe a solution would be to try and shorten the text describing the article that the user is proceeding to?
This is one my companies side projects. It's actually an older idea that we gave a new look to. It's simple, but effective at organizing who is bringing what to your next party.
Maybe not the most lucrative market however college students do a lot of get togethers like tailgates or social events but usually communicate via SMS.
