We recently posted on Hacker News asking for feedback on IvyLees.
And they helped us out. Big time. Thanks, guys.
You’ll notice some changes on the site as a result of their feedback. We’re not done yet, but the bulk of the suggestions are implemented. I’ll try to highlight some of the changes:
- You can now create News Releases without signing up.
- The front page lets users know what the site is about, what they can do with it, and what they can click on a bit better now.
- The Tools link is gone. The tools are still there, of course, but they’re presented elsewhere, in more logical spots.
- We’re now calling Associations NewsRooms, because, well, that’s what they always were.
- Collections are now piggy-backing on the Contacts page. You can manage all of your contacts (whether mutual or not) in one spot now.
- We upped pitches to 300 characters. We will probably be tweaking this amount until we find a happy compromise between pitchers and pitchees. Feedback is, as usual, appreciated.
We’ve still got work to do. Stay tuned for more info.
