Great going guys on getting a product launched.

Try to ignore the majority of comments from people offering nothing more than a self promotion of how much of a cynic they are.

Some thoughts on the site:

1. That photo needs to change, I personally like it in the same way I love parody twitter accounts like hipster programmer. However, some will view it as condescending.

2. While you're in private alpha and that's all good, if someone is singing in with a Gtihub profile it's more than likely they're a value to what you're working on. Don't make them jump through hoops to obtain an alpha code, just let them on.

3. I think you should integrate with Github on an individuals profile to browse someones repos and comment on these.

4. When I see the profile I think of CV, I'm not sure why but I keep looking for an export to PDF button. Maybe it's the recommendation feature or the layout, either way if you're not trying to become a programmers CV something needs to change here. If that is your focus then I'd say mission accomplished.

Just my thoughts and kudos on launching as opposed to sitting on HN putting down others work.
