Are you kidding or is it true? You can get a lawsuit for this? (I don't live in the US)
cuchoperl | 14 years ago | on: How to find the right designer
Where can you go to look for a UX/UI designer that can help with the usability of your website? Dribble is ok to showcase a nice logo, a nice button etc, but fails for non-cosmetic driven design.

What good alternative Translation APIs are out there?

Also, its difficult to monetize the API, for example, with ads.
cuchoperl | 15 years ago | on: Comments Are Dead. We Need You to Help Reinvent Them
I like Facebook's approach to comments (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comme...).
Pros:
- Most people are already signed-on in Fb, no friction to start commenting.
- There is a hierarchy of posts, similar to HN, reddit, etc
- Not anonymous.
Cons:
- Who owns the data? Probably Facebook.

The one in the article seems too electrical for me.

Many thanks for sharing your experience :)
About where to place the illustrations: That's a great challenge for us. We are trying to get as much feedback as possible from kids, dads, professional storytellers, psychologists, writers, professors etc, to learn where's the best spot to place the illustration. There's no consensus, but we hope to have a formed opinion soon.
About the layouts: iBooks renders EPUBs in a funny way. We have improved many times the way illustrations are formatted each time updating our books in the iBookstore. We are in the process of updating once again our styling template, using new CSS3 properties supported by iBooks. We are learning along the way and improving our books a lot! (If you send me an email to victor at pictorical com I will send you an updated version of Rapunzel when we have it ready.)
Thanks for buying the book, supporting Paola and giving us feedback. Please do a "like" to Paola (the Chilean artist who draw Rapunzel) to send her thanks.

The artists get half of the profits i.e. half of the money that we receive from the store. So, for a $1.99 book, Apple will get $0.59, the artist $0.70 and we get $0.70.

We are now working on the Kindle conversion, and we will have it -hopefully- by late May. And also in a print-on-demand hook so you can sell paper (or dead-tree) books in Amazon as well.

Great feedback, I will check the quotes. Thanks bugsy.
cuchoperl | 15 years ago | on: Show HN: Pictorical, Crowd-illustrated books startup
Yes, please tell me if your kids like them. Would be good field-testing ;)

That's a great idea, thanks Ruchi!

Hola!
1. We will probably be selling longer books a little bit more expensive. We can't forget we are competing against free ebooks!
2. Yes, we will sell illustrated paper books in the near future. And also t-shirts and all sort of things with your favorite illustrations.
Thanks for the feedback!
