Show HN: HackerBracket – What are you working on? (opens in new tab)

I'd love a clearer indication of your mission, maybe in the tagline or an about-us page. I can't decide if you're a new-product-finder, an announcement platform, or a social network for hackers. There's evidence for each of those in different views of the site. :)

Website is really slow on Firefox 32 (on Ubuntu), it's like trying to run Atom. After that, hopefully it remains responsive. Maybe add a limit to how much data is shown right away? like 5 posts, then load the rest as people scroll down? Duno, feels like too many posts are being downloaded at once.

Where's the bracket?

Based on the name and the logo, I assumed this would be setup like some kind of tournament bracket.

I don't normally complain about such things, but your font colour could be a lot more contrasty. It's on the extreme end of the current grey text on white/light background vogue and even for me it's pretty hellish to read.

How can I login or create account?

Seems to be loading indefinitely for me, do you have to signup to see anything?

It looks interesting. Loading really slowly though (firefox).

The "+" icon in the upper left corner throws an error when you are not logged in:

  {"success":false,"error":{"code":1,"message":"You are not logged in."}}

For some reason I doubt this is by design.

Also, when you upload a pic for the "screenshot", there is no confirmation after the progress bar disappears. No thumbnail, no "Ok, pic uploaded!". Nothing.

Another note: no place to put hyperlinks when you create a post?!

And I cannot edit my post afterword (to add a hyperlink in the description).

Nice but the infinite scroll is unbearable. You have some badness going on there. It completely blocks the UI and it crashes Chrome if the dev tools are open. Good luck.

I'm imagining a Pinterest-style UI working great here — I can imagine tons of people using a sort of Pinterest for code/products.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's an open version of Producthunt?

Your website made me force quit firefox 32 on macbook pro retina....

I joined and posted something and a few things jumped out: no place for a link to the project (if there's a home for it) and no way to edit or update posts. Weird.

The UI for updating a project is a bit off. I think a 'My Projects' type link where I could see and edit would work a bit better.

Is that loading icon supposed to be a game of 2048?

Seems not to support animated GIFs.
