Nicely done.  I look forward to reading this and have bookmarked it to return to regularly.&lt;p&gt;And now this is going to seem really harsh, but I&amp;#x27;ve learned, as I produce specialist sites and facilities for other people, that immediate and instant reactions are incredibly important.  So here are mine.&lt;p&gt;True design has usability at its heart, appearance being secondary to that.  Things can look gorgeous, but without usability it&amp;#x27;s art and nothing else.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s a nightmare to read - please, please, increase the contrast. It&amp;#x27;s wishy-washy and bland.&lt;p&gt;The text is small, and there&amp;#x27;s just &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; much wasted space.  Increasing the text size to something sensible means there&amp;#x27;s also nothing on the screen, leading to endless scrolling.&lt;p&gt;Beautiful to look at, provided you don&amp;#x27;t actually want to use it.  Additionally, the &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;2&amp;quot; links at the bottom are &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; hard to hit.&lt;p&gt;Other questions, then:&lt;p&gt;How are you going to enforce the focus on CS?&lt;p&gt;Do usability issues fall in the remit?&lt;p&gt;Looking at one entry:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    AllTheFreeStock (http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;allthefreestock.com&amp;#x2F;)

How is this &amp;quot;Computer Science&amp;quot;?&lt;p&gt;========&lt;p&gt;Edit: Typo:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    You have been sent an email,
    please confirm you account.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
That should be &amp;quot;your account&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;========&lt;p&gt;Edit:&lt;p&gt;When posting extra information to accompany a post, it&amp;#x27;s not clear that there is a 140 char limit until you fail.  More, if it &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; fail there&amp;#x27;s no indication of how much it&amp;#x27;s missed by.</text></comment>

YCombinator is a CS term. Dev and Stash are both development terms (I hesitate to even call it software engineering actually).&lt;p&gt;Even the name doesn&amp;#x27;t make sense.</text></comment>
