Really nice work. I will add to my favs to see how it grows. I am working in a voting system similar to this, but about books. The way that you handle the "language" on the right…
vitomd on HNAwesome stuff, blows my 'learning to code' tumblr out of the water. I'll definitely use in the future. Any background on how you put this together? I've got a vertical I think…

Editable link descriptions
From 2 comments
Many of the descriptions aren't nearly as good as they could be. I think if they were made to be editable like wiki pages they would be much better. I have another idea: what if…
benatkin on HNYeah, making the comment form available would be a good idea. And I didn't mean that people should use them as feedback to me, but to the author of the link description. Need to…

Add downvotes
From 1 comment
Why not have downvotes too? If you ask me, upvotes-only (as here on HN) works great if post get hidden when x time goes by. But AFAIK links "value" will not devalue over time on…
