I made a website with my wife. It has turned out pretty well.

My wife and I used to play this game with each other once we started dating and decided to turn it into a website. The end result is Faveone (faveone.com).

It has taken about a year for it to get to where it is at, as I was new to Codeigniter and it was mostly just a small side project.

I wanted to see what the HN community thinks about it and get some feedback.

I like the design! One thing though, I was on my iPhone and it seemed like I always had to click twice to see the vote figures?


I noticed this on a friends iPad also, it seems that the first touch is the Hover event and the next touch is the actual Click event.

edit: I am working on a mobile version of the site.


Fun! My only suggestion would be instead of having to click next, the page should automatically refresh after choosing.


Thanks for looking at it. I have had that suggestion a few times. The reason I haven't change it to that is because I want the user to see the results on the page. I have played around a bit with a way to display previous vote results but haven't been happy with any of them yet.


Show the results, then after X seconds automatically go to the next one.

This way the user gets to see the results, and they don't have to click "Next"


I like the concept and wish you the best of luck.

I'd consider adding a few different preloaded questions on the main page (or perhaps recently answered questions).

Some people might be intrigued by "Would you rather?" while "Which is your fave?" might sound a bit bland causing them to click out sooner. Just a thought.


On a page where you see a "this or that" or on the create page?


This reminds me of a YC funded startup that did the same thing, what were they called again?


From what I can find it looks like it was launched back in 2006. Found this from the wikipedia entry for Y Combinator, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator. See reference 9 at the bottom.


A concept like this was funded? I am curious as to know who it was.
