initlaunch··on Ask HN: Best city in India?
If there is a reliable internet connection, I'll be able to work. I was thinking a city so that I could meet people and not get bored/lonely since I'll be working alone.

Some may have gotten offended, but I found your post helpful, thanks! Bangalore sounds pretty cool, but things shutting down at 10pm is kind of a concern.
initlaunch··on What do you think of my eLearning startup?
Cool.. always good to see technology being applied towards education.

Few comments, take what you will:

- I expected the "ClassConnect" logo at the top to be linked to the home page.

- "We saved the best for last. ClassConnect is 100% free. Forever." I don't think you should really save that for last.. seems like something you'd want to have stand out on the home page.

- I got about 2 min into the intro video and it froze up, so maybe check bandwidth issues. The video seemed to be too long, and the first 2 minutes I weren't that interesting. I think starting off by showing your main workflow would be better - how simple it is to upload a document or save a video and share it with your class.

- "Why license" and "License Features" look basically the same, and I'm still not totally sure what it is. Why would I want support?

Hope some of that is helpful. Good luck!

initlaunch··on Founders who can't code
Yes, as others mentioned, there are good tools to rapidly prototype things, and using them shows you are resourceful and committed.

If you really can't do that, at least put in the time to create a detailed spec.

initlaunch··on Why do so many sites squeeze their content into one skinny column?
Yes, having too many words on one line is hard to read. I would rather they just increase the size of everything.. sure it might lead to a little more vertical scrolling, but we're all used to that.

Like you said, there's no one optimal layout for all resolutions, and maybe i'm running higher than most people (1440 x 900 on my 15" mbp.. the default). But I would have thought it would be standard by now take into account the screen's resolution when laying things out. Maybe that's too difficult.. I don't know.
