I really like this. It's simple and fun. I agree that the front page setup needs a little tweaking. I'd actually put the bottom bar up at the top with a little explanation blurb by the logo, as if you're introducing the site, which is essentially what you're doing.
Question: is there any harm being done to the sites you frame? Have you gotten any negative feedback from publishers? Everynow and then someone frames one of my sites and it irks me to no end, hence the little js breaker i run on all my sites. Thoughts there? I mean, essentially one could argue this is merely a slick little theft of content.
Thanks! I thought about putting the bar at the top but I didn't want to obstruct logos and headers by setting the iFrame as-is, while starting the main frame at the bottom of the bar would then eat up too much real estate.
As for your question, it's an awesome one. To this point I have not received any negative feedback from developers but I've also only pushed testing traffic through the site. It's entirely possible that I will receive negative feedback as the site grows, though I obviously hope developers see worthyy as helping more than hurting.
My perspective is this: I could easily start yet another blog that covers web services and each post would be just another singular perspective on each site. Try as I might to avoid it, my opinions, impressions and perspective will inevitably come through as visitors read my take on each site. My perspective will weigh heavily on whether or not readers end up clicking through. I don't want this.
I want the developer's work to do the talking. Developers put tremendous amounts of time and thought into building these sites. I obviously don't need to tell you that. Why should I be just another guy who covers their work on my blog, inevitably misrepresents something, misses covering key functionality, etc? I want worthyy users to see and experience each site as the developer envisioned it - without preconceived impressions from my opinion or anyone else's for that matter. I then make it as easy as possible for the user to bookmark the site and should they choose to click through and discuss the site, there is always a direct link waiting for them.
That said, my intentions hardly invalidate the fact that some may potentially view worthyy as stealing their content. To that I can only assure those concerned that I will, without hesitation, remove content from my site immediately should the owner of the content request that I do so. No argument and no questions asked.
