How the HNews tech community helped us rethink our fashion startup
Can I ask, why the opacity hover effect on the post? Personal I'd prefer just to have darker text and more vibrant image from the get-go rather than needing to hover to do so.
Edit: I can see from the blog home this effect makes sense for post selection. Just feel it doesn't work well on the page of an individual post.
You should consider finding someone to do your copy, the grammar errors (e.g. "you're" vs "your") on the main site really spoil the style.
link (or link more clearly) to your main site from your blog!
+ update your shipping times in "how it works" if they have chaged.
Leaning on a global community like HN and only shipping to the US and Canada? Come on.
Couple of things:
1) Mixing your Tumblr with your blog is confusing. Yes, I know Tumblr is a blog, but you're using Tumblr in the "tumbly" way and so it's hard to tell which of the many photos represent your actual collection and which is just merely stuff that you've liked and re-blogged. It's fine to have a tumblr to represent the tastes of the brand, but I'm not sure it works here as your official blog space too.
2) I'm still not sure what the service is. The copy talks about working with an individual, local stylist, but there's only one example of an outfit (the Hauz Khas Hipster). Is there a different look/stylist for every customer? Or do we get variations of the HK Hipster? Or is the HK Hipster the only selection so far available? If not the latter, then it'd be helpful to have a page showing the various ensembles that your stylists have come up with.
Its good to see this feedback - Show HN usually gets a good, constructive criticism from the HN community, and its done mostly I feel from a sense of supporting a fellow-traveller.
However its nice that the results of that criticism get back to HN, it helps motivate for the next one.
