I like the concept, but not much time for this. I would be interested in a modular/eurorack interface that would make it possible to do a massive online jam. Maybe just sending a clock signal would be enough, but probably not that easy. If everyone agrees on some lag...could be cool!
Cool! I’ll be keeping that in the back of my head and ruminate, and get back to you when I have something more practical to work with (especially with a limited amount of available time).
Why did you choose the name Linkush? I haven't checked the product in detail, but the name is very generic, but could be wrong and just doesn't got it right away.
From a design perspective, you can improve a lot with little effort. Your navbar/identity and logo is not aligned correctly seems off. You could also optimize your navbar and actually put stuff in there...seems empty/wasted space.
Play a bit with typography/alignment/layout. Don't be afraid to be bold and go large. Keep it minimal. What works for me, and I am not a designer, is design one prominent element (navbar? form? call to action?) really well. Spend time on basics like logo/typo/colors/spacing/fonts/etc. Once you are happy and are proud of your minimal finished prominent element, you probably found a style/direction that will guide you and the rest will come more natural; easy and much more fun to build.
Thanks David, I think you hit the hammer on the head. The percentages are daily growth, but very unclear. I could show the growth in numbers, but that would only benefit projects with already a lot of followers. The idea is to promote smaller projects. So 10 followers + 5 is 50% growth. I am going to fix the percentages and show will change community to followers. Great feedback, thanks again!
Gotcha! I saw the upside of using percentages to promote smaller players - curious to see whether those dominate or whether its a balance or some sort of minimum follow cliff is needed or some sort of 'big leagues' 'small leagues' split is needed. Guess we will find out. I meant an absolute figure as an addition to the percentage - 50% means a lot more if its thousands of people rather than 2 and I thought that might be additional impressiveness, although im not sure what your goal is with the site. Is it great product discovery for consumers or promotion for products focused? (or both)
Yeah, the idea of the percentage is to give newcomers a leg up. In the end, the site is more geared towards new projects with a small following. Wouldn't expect the established projects to list themselves, they have more important stuff to do :) But, would be cool if some of the small projects will become big! Would be nice to know and share what their strategy was and maybe could do some interviews in the future.
Currently, I have some really small projects (2 followers) and I am going to create a 50 followers cliff/threshold. I already notice that going from one to two is 100% growth (see today) and that isn't really useful and fair to others. Will fix this tomorrow.
Started to redesign the page with your comments. Stil WIP but happy to add the graphs on the homepage. Will have a hover which shows the graph + percentage growth. Have to play a bit with this.
