Same here. By the way, I need this. I'd be particularly interested in seeing a wide range of devices in each form factor in order to illustrate the variability that exists in the ratio of CSS pixels to actual inches (for example, Kindle Fire HD 8.9 vs. Kindle Fire HDX). Also I need an option to include a variety of hands to covers a range of ethnicities but also hand sizes and ages to illustrate the (im)practicality of touch target sizes.

I'm in your market. 6'3", 160 lbs. I was all set to explain why I don't think your idea will work for marketing reasons (short version: A few larger diversified companies get close enough to the mark that they'll take your core business, and you'll need to be able to survive off seasonal variations, which won't work.) Then I found this today: http://www.moderntailor.com/ Maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you for this. By the way, I found this topic to be a difficult one to google for. Is there a magic search string or term of art that I'm missing?

I have been wanting to create a tool like this for some time. I'm curious about what (if any) data analysis you're doing. The general area here is called lag sequential analysis.

A cable plug that includes a strong tactile directional affordance? Oh no!

This is cool. If you add automatic support for the ARIA-label property (just duplicate your text content in the ARIA-label), this could be an accessibility tool. Otherwise you're basically hiding potentially needed info, which might normally be in ToolTips, from users with disabilities.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Accessibility/ARIA/... for info and http://freedomscientific.com/products/fs/JAWS-product-page.a... for a demo of the most popular screen reader for blind users.

You might also want to think about tying your CSS colors to system colors, to support users who use High Contrast mode.

This could be useful for low-vision people, who might like to optimize fonts and foreground/background colors for readability. It would be nice to be able to have toggleable presets.

Nice. I considered selling a house this way about six months ago, but I ended up selling it to a neighbor. Edit: One idea I had: allow people to reserve a spot on the calendar, perhaps with a deposit. You'll get the benefit of a traditional rising auction that way and it might avoid hard feelings if multiple people jump as the price falls a notch. Would you mind putting your code up on Github?

It's interesting that none of those references refer to the Lovey Howell character in the 60s sitcom Gilligan's Island, which came first to mind for me when reading "luvvie alert". I suppose the character's name+personality is more of a blatant archetype than I (now 43) had realized as a child.

Still punting ARIA support?

Default bookmark is default.

Bottom

I can do the work but since users of all of the other competitors have chimed in I'll ask you to compare/contrast with OneAll.com.

One of the entrants in the first X Prize competition was going to try this: http://www.davinciproject.com/beta/Technical/TechnicalFlight...

Yes I would expect this too. OP should file a provisional U.S. patent application listing every clever derivation they can think of, tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing re the coolness of it, but I don't have enough experience to say anything about novelty. If it is novel, OP's one-year patent clock starts today for the U.S., and the opportunity to patent in the rest of the world is now lost. It wouldn't surprise me if selling that feature to Adobe, Microsoft, or others could pay off more than the proposed (quite cool) app.

I may well have used this if you had launched a month ago. At this time I have my own system stitched together with the integrated mulit-OAuth-provider API from OneAll.com. I'll give you the same advice I'd give them: since you're pitching to busy, new, or possibly-competent-but-slow developers, I would encourage you to take the next step and see what else you can get done for me as a neophyte developer at the same time. I'd really appreciate an MVP starter kit -- a single download that includes an ideal usage of your code already wired in, the first thing I drop into my new site's FTP before doing any real work. In particular I'm thinking of a Twitter Bootstrap framework with all the appropriate supporting files all rolled up. One config file to point to my local MySQL instance, Facebook app, etc. It's great that you've made it straightforward for a competent developer. Please make it straightforward, safe, fast, and easy for a soon-to-be-competent one.

I have been thinking about the need for something like this, but a bit more menu-like. Suppose I am running a high-security site that needs more than 2 factors? Shouldn't that be as easy to set up as 1 or 2? So I image having a bunch of fields, any number of which may be required or optional:

- Real Name (if you can verify against public records that might be worth something) - account name - mailing address - home address - phone#1 [voice? text?] - phone#2 [voice? text?] - question #1 - question #2 - question #3 - select an anti-spoofing graphic - RSA key -...

Some levels of security, such as RSA key may be worth paying extra.

It would be particularly sweet if you provided a simple UI (checklist as above) that writes working client code for me. Oneall.com does something like this.

Overall though I have a few impressions: - Not a good color scheme; doesn't sell it. I say this as a non-visual person. - Include a bundle of sample code, and some docs with diagrams showing the flow of typical use. Yes, we can figure it out with a minimal explanation but your business model is making it super-easy to do what we could do on our own. - I think your site (due to the nature of the problem space) may benefit greatly from iterative A/B testing. - I like the domain / service name. I would actually remember that. I think it would be worthwhile to partner with a good site designer.

Which part? Expected return on savings or expected inflation? Relevant to inflation expectations: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/14/is-our-economist...

I might use this. I suggest you consider defaulting to USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes (assuming you're in the U.S.), as that might make the swap seem slightly more equitable.

It's an intriguing assertion, but there are too many variables. Which would really look better for rendering video or text at sub-optimal resolutions? 1920x1080 video or desktop stretched on the RD? Surface RT? It seems to me the safer bet would be that it depends on the task and the context. I'd bet money someone will do an appropriate comprehensive usability study within a year.

There is no "I agree" button, no way to indicate consent. A reasonable person linking to the site might not even notice that these terms were in place, so they can't be binding.

> If Microsoft is actually releasing their own tablet hardware as a long term strategy for extending an existing franchise (such as Xbox), it's probably because their is little interest in Windows Tablets from existing hardware manufacturers.

Current Windows tablet makers may infer that investing money on Windows 8 tablets is as likely to pay off as the last round. The story there is similar to the iPod natural monopoly -- no one made any money on any of those cheaper-but-not-cheap-enough hard-drive-based portable music players. What is needed is an optimal hardware+software combo, plus a different business model. Following Amazon's lead, it might make sense to sell a Win8 tablet at cost and make the profit on cloud-based subscription services.

Maintaining compatibility with existing keyboard UI should be considered essential for accessibility. And I haven't bothered to check compatibility with ARIA.

Where are the standard social buttons? You launched without a FB page?! When I post a link to your page (copy/paste) to FB the two graphics that are available for thumbnails are "learn more" and "buy now". Those thumbnail graphics may be as useful in pulling in customers as the copy text, but are wasted here.

Usability feedback: I completely missed the fact that there was a Details block until you mentioned it. Why? I don't know. Maybe I was assuming that their info was in one floating block as with LaunchRock.com.

I (accessibility consultant) was going to suggest the same thing, along with some tweaks to the color scheme for people with vision impairments. Email me if you want some guidance.

Relatively hack-proof internet interface for wifi security cameras. If someone breaks into the house and steals all my gear (including the cameras), at least I wouldn't be losing another $2-400 PC.
