Ask HN: Review my startup, ClueMe

12 points by RaRic 15 years ago | 5 comments

I use ClueMe to refresh things I want to know. For example, after reading on HN that there is a ISO-standard for storing sexes in a database, I made a short note that I repeat regularly.

All the entries in the global categories are questions, but around seventy percent of my personal entries are notes.

In addition to the general knowledge categories, I have made a group with HTML5 and CSS questions (under Groups->Programming).

If someone is inclined to check it out, I'd also be very happy to get some feedback on the admin part (requires login with a Google or Facebook account).

A special thanks to Natsu who designed my favicon and saved me £584 ;) (background: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2176227) .

The address is http://www.clueme.net

UPDATE: I screwed up trying to cache the initial categories (The GO-buttons didn't work). Now it should be fixed.

It looks like the questions are always in the same order. Random would be a step up, but using a proper spaced repitition algorithm would be best.

I agree, but sometimes it makes sense to have a specific order. For example, it makes sense to get history questions in a chronological order. Maybe you should be able to choose. Right now there is a quizorder field that determines the order for a given category.

+ Interesting interface and grippy buttons.

o How about let users see (and probably take) a few example questions on the frontpage?

- The categories page looks the same, whether I am logged in or not. If I'm not logged in the "Go" buttons won't work. That's friction, get rid of it.

Thanks. I haven't experienced the problem with the Go-buttons. I will investigate that.
