Ask HN: Please rate my GF's startup

In Opera 11, the blog post doesn't show tags, but the main site does show tags. This may be the problem @tsanzer was experiencing.

When zooming (ctrl-scrollwheel, e.g.), the tags are not in their correct positions (at least in Chrome).

If I "unhover" sometimes, the application still thinks I'm hovering over the tag. I can reproduce this bug in several ways. For example, hover over a tag, and move the cursor up slowly.

Other comments:

I like that I can hilight a tag's text and even click links!

Flickr (and Facebook) integration would be fantastic!

Service looks really simple and fits a specific need. Don't bloat it too much or it'll lose its elegance.

> How would you promote it?

(Optional?) watermark on images (on hover). Flickr/Facebook integration.

I really didn't like having to install a piece of code in my site theme. Although I've done it for this test, I'm effectively giving you a bunch of analytics, and I'm loading JS I don't need on every page. I'd much rather have a single piece of JS (or similar) for each photo that I can just embed. That said, I do very much like that it's not a piece of Flash.

I was expecting to have to drag an area of the photo to begin with, so accidentally created a hotspot in the wrong place. It'd be great to be able to drag existing hotspots around.

Also, you've got this far - why not include buttons to share on Twitter and Facebook? Comments would also be a no-brainer - you could have the comment and share counts next to the "x like this!" hover-over.

Visually I don't like how bold the boxes are when they show up, it detracts from the image. Would it be possible to either set CSS transparency on them or use a PNG-24 (Not IE6 friendly)? That way they're noticeable but not overpowering.

Otherwise, I like it.

EDIT: How would I promote it? Find some of the other fashion bloggers who have a decent following and try to get them to use it. After getting a few to use it there would be a bit of a network effect. If I were a fashion blogger and saw that on a photo I'd probably try to figure out how to do it. So maybe add a small watermark or something so other bloggers know how to get to you.

- I'd get rid of the Magic, eh? link. Doesn't really relate to the rest of the product and some people probably won't "get it".

- As for promoting the most obvious thing would be to email a bunch of high profile blogs (that would have use for this) and give it to them. If they use it others will notice. Maybe add a little "powered by loudly" link over the pic.

- Why the subdomain if the main domain just redirects?

As a side note, I didn't notice any tags in the photos on the blog post url you provided. Not quite sure why that is.

I agree with the earlier comment that the best way to get this promoted is through some clever networking with popular blogs/writers. They are often highly accessible and are willing to early-adopt a service. And, of course, they will spread the word if the service is good.
