This creates unlabeled duplicate content. It's a bad idea. Just change the CSS under the media queries as you're already doing.

Or if you're going to be creating two pieces of contents, do a subdomain (m.personalhomepage.xyz) and place a canonical tag.

There are many options, this isn't good standard.

nobody cares about that except bitcoin evangelists

I haven't evangelized anything. I said Mozilla does NOT accept Bitcoin though their donation page. Get over yourself.

This is what I mean. This isn't a debate and I've no interest in your lack of research and bad arguments.

Mozilla says they accept Bitcoin and has A page for it. But beyond this single story, people are never going to see it. If they started accepting feces and didn't put it on the donation page I'd still say it doesn't count.

If you want to rant about Bitcoin and act like you're on some sort of higher ground because you don't care about what currencies are accepted, blog about it. I don't care. It has nothing to do with my point.

No, seriously.

Bitcoin users donate more to causes. Why would they require a separate Google search just to donate in a widely used currency? What's the point of creating a separate page? It's simply bad practice.

It seems to me you just want to jump on a soap box. Go blog about it. But when I want to donate to something I go to the website and click 'Donate' and I USE THE OPTIONS THERE...

I think discussions online period are a bunch of garbage.

Still, have you considered Goodreads?

EDIT: This isn't Show HN, people really look for that tag. Edit your title and delete it.

I love the idea. Better than Google Alerts for sure. Searching for likes is sort of a given, I'm surprised that's not already implemented. (Aside from the list of 'Likables'.)

This would be perfect as I have an algorithms test covering BFS, DFS, and a few other things soon. But, no download links, I have satellite internet and can't stream video. XD

EDIT: Mobile app allows downloads, thanks for this, I'll check it out. :)

I haven't made any claims to worth.

In the same way that I asked someone to send an e-mail via my website instead of simply posting my e-mail, I've no interest in the passively curious. I'm not cautious in talking about the project, but I am cautious in blabbering off to anyone who doesn't care or just wants to look at something shiny.

This is something that comes up in conversation with friends often. The question here is where can I go to find help. Not how do I validate the idea. That's taken care of.

While quotes are sometimes nice, there are a few assumptions you've made that don't match this post at all.

1. I have extensive plans on paper to include visual design.

2. I have a little bit of code and I'm working project by project to get to the level required to build this site. (The whole reason for me building the other two from scratch.)

3. Again, hush-hush isn't the issue. But throwing everything out every time I ask a question? That's not good. I'm not pitching, I'm asking for general advice. (When I bid for a design company they had the full plans with no disclosure agreements and I did that knowing the people I was competing with were doing a similar style site. I don't believe in IP, but I do believe in common sense.)

I thank you for your response though.

I think if you're older than 12 there are an infinite amount of better options that teach a LOT more than any Head First book.

I didn't understand programming concepts until I got out of the usual "type this in and the console does this!" nonsense and got into understanding how these things work in the context of real world work.

In one word, freemium. I think there are some things worth paying for and others not. The first things I want to implement are the things that would require payment.

And you're right about finding a target market, the initial target would be others which I'll have to talk to.

Good point. I've validated it with two professors who think it's worth pursuing (which also led to a couple lengthy discussions on educational theory).

I'm not a fan of any sites that teach programming. They're too passive, don't take things seriously, or are meant for children (like the Head First series).

I'm not absolutely opposed to dumping all the unique features of what I've got so far on the interwebs, but not just yet.

The biggest feature that the company I was bidding for liked is a way of submitting programs and finding if they're correct or not (grading).

I've implemented a few thoughts from Salman Khan's book. The plans cover a much larger demographic and the site can be easily used for a lifetime rather than to just get a start.

But that's all I'll say for now. :p

Do you know of a good source to seek people? I'm skeptical of most freelance sites because they're generalized and used by a lot of people who just want to "make money online".

If you were seeking a programmer, where would you go to?
