Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
You've been coding all day, made a small masterpiece that you think is worth a try to turn it
into a project and you ask someone of your friends to take a look at it.
And the first thing they will say is "I think that green color comes out all wrong".
And you're like omfg , don't you understand there's a whole server side section that makes you do stuff.
And they're like : yeah, but the green is still wrong.
Seriously though, a software package isn't just a wicked piece of code: it's also all about documentation and interface. Without those, you're doomed to fail.
In your case, however, make it blue!
Edit - Hmmm... are you talking about ImagePit? Well, it looks pretty snazzy and well-marketed to me. Ask someone else.

No ImagePit is a side-project i'm working on.
i'm making some kind of multi-user CMS for a niched group of clients.
When It's in a beta stage i'll post it in UI Design/Usability and you guys can critize away
I can identify. It's kind of annoying! Like I want to show off a cool effect, but they're only interested in parts that aren't done yet. Like a couple days ago, I wanted to show off a superb CSS layout. The first response was, "there's nothing on the page, what layout?"
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
Users don't care about the (technical) beauty of a solution... The want something that makes *their* job easier.. They use your application as a black box... (Just like most application developers use their hardware and operating system as a black blox/layer to make their application run)
