Title: Study Stickies: good enough to launch soon?
Post by amichail on Jun 4^th, 2007, 11:08am

I was wondering if my current startup attempt is good enough to launch soon:

http://studystickies.com/#sql%20by%3Aamichail
http://studystickies.com/#computer%20science

It seems good enough to me, but some disagree:

The loading seems to be slow.
And it looks cluttered and unappealing.

Make it shiny, add some margins, add some curves, some images. Try out a few other fonts.
The "study stickies" logo is pretty good, it's organic; make the rest of the site fit it.

It might be a good idea to have an introduction page, rather than have the first thing people look at when entering the site be a lot of links and no clear structure.
However functional it might be, it's just not friendly.

What do you think of the Facebook version?

I think I cannot see it unless I register and log in, which I don't plan to ever do.

Computer science students should be encouraged to work for themselves. The facebook platform is pretty cool for that:
