Ask HN: Feedback on re-design of debugging.com
1 points by debugging 5667 days ago
Hi all (first post so be nice hehe),

So a little background, I came into the web scene around 2000, and started off with some classic asp. Shortly thereafter .net came around and I decided to build myself a community site. So after a little bit of hacking, self-hosted out of my bedroom, csharpfriends.com was born. I ran that site pretty hard in the beginning years, and it did well for itself and provided a very nice side income for me.

Fast forward to 2009'ish, I was able to get my hands on debugging.com I had a few ideas on what I wanted to do with it, all were programming and community related of course. I love building community related properties, and currently debugging is on a ASP.NET MVC platform but version 2.0 that I am hacking away during my spare time is a Rails 3 app (cloud hosted and all).

So I'm working with a great designer right now, and happy with the progress so far but I am looking for some feedback.

Here is the current mockup in a few colors:

Any and all feedback welcome (design, site direction, etc)
