Show HN: SnickSnaps.com -best way to view Craigslist
- wilsonlin45 14y agoMe and a buddy built this over this site over the weekend. We believe that pictures sell and that people want to see what they're buying. SnickSnaps posts craigslist ads that only have images in an easy to browse way. So far we're only showing 3 categories to see the feedback on what we've done so far.
- edemont1 14y agoNice sleek design, I think this would definitely be much more appealing to browse through craigslist.
- prodigal_erik 14y agoClean meaningful markup that works without js makes you far better than the median web author. It'd be nice if the images were also links, since the titles are pretty small Fitts' Law targets. Nobody is in the market for everything so I'd want to filter on price and maybe words like brands. Have you considered how Craigslist reacted to PadMapper? So far they have not been happy or even coöperative about people building better alternatives to their UI. Good luck.
- wilsonlin45 14y agoThanks for the feedback! We're going to be working on images being links. We heard about what happened to PadMapper but we still figured this is a nicer way to browse, nicer UI, etc.
- therealarmen 14y agoI applaud the effort. With all the recent hubbub surrounding Padmapper I would have expected startups to avoid messing with Craigslist. The best way to get a giant like Craigslist to move is to step on its' toes.
