Just out of curiosity, what does "implemented" mean in this case?

steveplace• 18 years ago

impletmented = filling out Uservoice form

Is uservoice connected to slinkset?

flavio87• 18 years ago

it looks really nice. you needed less than 4 hours for the design, the ajax, the server side scripting etc? either you are extremely efficient or your watches are not entirely correct ;)

Well, it uses uservoice.com to do what it needs to do, and is likely skinned through that.

Not sure I'm at all impressed as a hacker, but I do like the fact that it's easy to get started with random communities and places.

By implemented, do you mean 'created a logo for a uservoice page'? Why did you need 4 hours for that?

By "implemented," he means "Added `CTO` to Obama logo"

By "launched," he means "Signed up for UserVoice"

It's not a bad idea, but the title makes the entire thing feel extremely pathetic.

Yeah.

I'm starting to really wish I could downvote stories. Until this week, it never seems like a necessity. Now, we're flooded with stories that just don't seem like Hacker News. And I feel weird flagging them, since they aren't outright spam stories, they just aren't Hacker News.

This isn't as bad as the Dashboard story, though. That one's getting a wee bit out of hand.

Ack - should've clarified, it wasn't me, picked it off here -- http://twitter.com/timoreilly/status/1001346959

Although, it looks like it is really just a skinned UserVoice forum, still a pretty good idea though.

Skinned? By skinned you mean uploaded a logo and changed the background color. That is how all UserVoice sites look like.

ok, I think this site could be misleading. It's appropriate to put up a disclaimer that this site is in no way related or supported by the Obama Campaign or Administration.

I agree. My interest went from 100 mph to near zero [1] after realizing this was the case.

[1] quoting somebody, ha, ha.

Except that until 8 days ago, the opposite was true.
