I'm guessing it's your site, since the name 'Jacob' is all over it. Why didn't you post a comment about it in typical Ask YC style?

Anyway, outside of the marketing-counter thing, I would suggest that the initial layout for a user's start page is the same as the one that is so prominently displayed on the sample images (with the grey background and color bars). Not that it was difficult to change, but it was a little disappointing when I found just a simple white layout with my single forlorn link to HN on it instead of the stylish advertised one... I almost took off right there. Perhaps selecting a layout could be a more prominent initial setup step?

Why do you need my email when I sign up? The signup doesn't ask for a password re-entry as well, which I found strange.

What do the ampersands mean?

Nice work. Looks great, too.

[edit] Why should I use it? Chrome and Safari (and FF in the near future) offer close to the same functionality.

The thought on a different homepage is you will go change it, and in the process discover the fact you can change them at all.

Email is for password recovery.

In that theme, ampersands mean it has updated content. That's just part of the template language. Some have bullets, some highlight the text. It's up to the theme.

It's simpler and you can access it from other computers [and your iphone (i.start.io/jacob)]

Sorry about not putting a description. Forgot! Looks like everyone else sort of did for me though :)

Wow - so that's really how many clicks your pages have received, approximately?

[jacobbijani]

The sum of all clicks on all links, yes. We track when you click one of the links you add to your startpage. The click counts are one of the values available to the themes.
