| It looks nice. The "Midomi" tile has a minor spelling error:

| Wow, someone actually built it....

| I made a link site 20 years ago: http://tentacle.rupy.se
|
| I still use it to this day.
|
| My memory is not what it used to be.
|
| Now I just need a dead link reporter tool for it.

| I bookmarked this strange bookmark of sites :).

| Neat, thanks for sharing.
|
| My main feedback is that it subjectively looks and feels very
| much like the SEO blogspam you get at the top of every google
| search these days.
|
| It's hard to put my finger on exactly what, but it feels visually
| busy and almost a little _too_ polished.
| jayra wrote:
| Thanks dude!
|
| I've been feeling weird about the design since I launched it,
| definitely needs a redesign. I've mostly been focused on the
| newsletter side of things and ignored the website. Thanks for
| bringing it up - I've pushed it to the top of my todo list.

| I'm not the OP, but I thought the design was OK.
|
| One thing I'd suggest removing however is the Product Hunt
| logo/widget. It's meaningless for people that may find your
| site via search. They don't care if it was the "Product of
| the Day" or whatever. Those are mostly for bragging rights in
| the lean startup community.
|
| Another reason to remove it is because it creates that
| negative "blogspam" signal in online communities like HN that
| are familiar with PH. There are lots or barebones websites
| offering color palettes and CSS gradients and calling
| themselves "products". Don't turn your website into one of
| those.

| One thing that bothered me is that the images are sort of
| popping in and causing the layout to shift as you scroll
| down. If you set a dimensions on the img-tags, it will at
| least remove the layout shift.
| rexreed wrote:
| The design looks the same as
| https://www.billiondollarpitchdecks.com/ both by
| FlowGenius.co which is where the OP is from, judging by post
| history. These sites are created using WebFlow
| (https://webflow.com/) so I'm guessing part of the WebFlow
| look and feel (no code website builder)

| Page of insanely useless affiliate links.

| Show me one affiliate link you found :)
| gregjor wrote:
| All of them. Here's the link on the Omni Calculator "Visit
| website" button, just one example.

| What % commission do you think such "affiliate" gets for a
| website that doesn't sell anything? It's a UTM tag for
| Google Analytics
| jayra wrote:
| That's a UTM tag that Revue adds automatically - not an
| affiliate link. Most of these sites are free dude. Take a
| look next time before jumping to conclusions and calling
| something junk.
| gregjor wrote:
| The very first "useful website" on the page is a list of
| the best affiliate programs.
|
| Google and Amazon are free too, also full of ads and
| affiliate links.

| I don't think so buddy

| That's weird! Just seen. Thanks dude, will remove this.

| guys who started The Webbys.
