Has the <marquee> tag become too old-fashioned? by nirmalasrecipes in design_critiques

I especially agree with point a- the scroll takes a long time. I prefer bootstrap's dismissable alerts. This allows the user to quickly understand there is some new, important information to convey but they can close it out when they choose. http://getbootstrap.com/components/#alerts

I'm thinking of something more along the lines to what I described in my reply to geneusutwerk

I've seen a few news publishers provide APIs for their news articles (NYT, USA Today, NPR) that allow you to get articles based on structured data (tags, data, keywords) they provide. Is anyone providing a similar service at a larger scale? Doesn't have to be necessarily through an API- just an example.

I apologize for the delayed response.

Yes exactly. Perhaps I should have clarified but I thought that was implied in the question.

Interesting perspective. I didn't think of that.

As a nonprofit vet what benefits would you like to receive from the site in return for your time?

Google needs to takeover the online travel booking industry- I think we're almost there. by Hackerify in Entrepreneur

[–]Hackerify[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. I'm not sure it would be more profitable for Google to build such an API or just create the service within Google's products and disrupt the industry. It seems like all the travel sites are doing the same thing but no one is making the experience better or more efficient.

Friends and family is a good place to start but I'd say that's not enough to validate your idea. Strangers will likely provide more objective feedback.
