A lot of people commented on the original submission in which he asked for feedback on his site and ... nothing's improved, not even the grammatical errors!

The only thing that's changed is the site's migration to S3 from Linode, and the addition of Cloudfront!

Also, it's unreasonable to expect the author to make every change which is recommended. Some things are judgement calls. I really appreciated the feedback of HN and acted on most things suggested, but not everything.

I beg to differ. I changed a lot of stuff which was recommended by HN. What errors do you see? The main thing I didn't change was I kept the open source stuff highlighted because the vast majority of people visiting the site will want to find those resources.

"Get Perks at Local Restaurants & Bars" shouldn't be title cased. It should be "early beta" not "early Beta". The ellipsis after the "etc" should be a period. There are many others too.

There were a ton of comments that were incredibly constructive and valid. I appreciate it's your site and you're not beholden to anybody, but almost all the criticism that was given was ignored.

Also, you can edit comments on HN rather than leaving a second as an afterthought.

I just saw the webpage for the first time. I agree with you. The writing is very poor on this webpage. Many sentences were awkwardly worded.

>Perks include offerings like free appetizers, complimentary drinks and more.

This is one of the awkward sentences that I found hard to comprehend at first..

And "early beta" is still not changed..

Fixed those errors. Thanks.

I did make a lot of changes suggested. I changed my about page a lot, and made copy changes to much of the stuff on the homepage. Keep in mind that this site is still a work in progress and I got caught up with other stuff the rest of the week. I will probably make more of the HN suggested changes later. I'm just saying that not all recommendations fit in with the author's view on something.
