Review my site - readit.me | kingkilr: Why would I use this over Readernaut: http://readernaut.com/ |
Review my site - devcheatsheet.com | rufugee: I'd like to see the date the actual cheatsheet was created...not just added to the site. A javascript cheatsheet from 2001 is likely to be much different than one from 2007. Other than that I love the site! |
Review my site - readit.me | ilconsigliere: Phonetically, readit could easily be mistaken for the immensely popular reddit. This seems rather important from a branding perspective.I assume its meant to be "read" sounding like "reed," not "read" sounding like "red".. but it's easy to see how this could cause confusion. |
Review my site - devcheatsheet.com | bajsejohannes: Good job on making a nice and clean design! One thing I found slightly confusing was that some images of cheatsheets links to an intermediate page, instead of the cheatsheet itself.Examples:ANSI C Reference Card v2.2 on http://devcheatsheet.com/tag/c/STL Quick Reference on http://devcheatsheet.com/tag/cp... |

Further studies with maximum ROI? | whatusername: Ignore the ROI. Do it with something that you are likely to want to work on. (You're in a tech field going for your masters - you'll have a decent salary/options regardless of what you focus on - it's not like this is Liberal Arts). So if you enjoy HCI then go do that. |

How would you make public transit profitable / create more value? | kattervon: Additional property taxes on land near the stations would be a good source of revenue.
