How can she say that sharing gesture on the video is intuitive? And why is this app copying Clear just for the sake of having gestures all over the place?

The fact that this isn't a "10 things..." kind of list says a lot about its quality in the first place.

that's a misleading title

Nice. The UI is elegant and intuitive, all important features are there. Seeing Instapaper catch up should be interesting.

This guy makes excelent points. That bright yellow background, on the other hand...

jperezcu | 14 years ago | on: Google removes '+' from Chrome's tab bar

The current button doesn't really resemble a tab, so it could be hard to guess. Something like IE's approach seems more intuitive. Still, a blank button seems like an analogy, not a direct message. A plus sign at the end of a tab row definitely means that by clicking it, you are adding something to it. And what else could it be, if there are only tabs in that row?

This is a terrible idea. Users shouldn't have to guess what a blank button does.

It's funny how fanboys like John Gruber can't see past the similarities with the iPod Nano and notice this product is much more than that. Every single company takes something that already exists and makes it better. Apple and Moto are no different.

I can't even count how many 't's there are.

jperezcu | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: Erlywarn, Clever Uptime Monitoring. Any thoughts?

Reading that text on the website in light gray was kind of painful. I get that you need to differentiate some blocks of texts but those lines look like they are fading. Oh, and maybe a lightbox with prev-next buttons? Nice work tho, best of luck.

Great advice. I'd say managing the results you get when googling your name is important as well. You could write 500 blog posts, but if the blog itself can't be found easily, what good is that for?

Those new intelligent lists are just great.

jperezcu | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: Crowd² - A viral marketing campaign creator I wrote in 72 hours

The headline+video look great. I'm curious, though: why is the "Download for Free" button bigger and brighter than the "Create a Campaign" button (which is clearly more important)? And why does it say "Live Demo" if it's just a downloadable PDF?

jperezcu | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: What do you guys think of our beta landing page?

Was I the only one that tried to click on the empty space between the logo and the social icons? I read "engine" on the title and figured that had to be the search box.

jperezcu | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: My first landing page ever created for a mobile app. Feedback?

What happened to the upper half of the iPhone home button? And what's with the W ("We blog...") floating around between the white piece of paper and the beige background? Pay more attention to detail, otherwise users will notice that.
