Show HN: Five.Seven.Five. - A Haiku (Poetry) Community

10 pointshellotoby15 years ago4 comments

Hi HN,

I've been reading for a few years now and thought I'd like to share my weekend project with you.

Five.Seven.Five. is a place for fans of Haiku to publish, comment and share their poetry.

I recently left work to start building my own web applications and thought this would be an interesting project to gear up to that.

There's not a lot of content at the moment so if any other HN'ers are interested in Haiku, please feel free to sign up and publish your own Haikus.

Of course, I welcome any constructive feedback and am interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.

Toby

People interested in this may also be interested in Haiku bots found on reddit (http://www.reddit.com/user/haiku_robot) and twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/youinhaiku). People wrote scripts that would look for messages with the proper number of messages and repeat them in haiku format.

Love the concept, and a very clean design. I'd make 2-3 haikus more prominent on your landing page in a slightly bigger font and toward the top of the page. Right now this valuable space is taken up by the logo which doesn't add much value/content IMHO.

This looks really good! Would you be interested in some freelance work? I have a pretty small budget, but would love to talk further! Feel free to email me at kaufmanjohn719(at)gmail(dot)com if interested.
