Heard about this on comp.misc (Score: 1)

I knew "quite a bit" about the soylentnews.org project, but for some reason didn't know about this until it was mentioned yesterday on Usenet (comp.misc, where a bunch of us have been hanging out).

Got to say: I am extremely impressed! I don't know enough about the internals to comment on that, but the site looks and feels great, and you've done some fast work! I dig the favicon, the site's graphics are sharp, and the whole thing is impressive.

Count on me to keep getting the word out - need to drive more traffic to this place! I'll be at Soylent too, of course - now I have more reasons than ever to not actually do my job while I'm at work.

Very impressive - congrats.

I'll reply to my own comment here just to say, the more I look at this site and compare it to other sites, the more impressed I am. Gorgeous attention to details, and visually appealing in every way. I'm not a huge fan of the font used in the title, but that's about the only criticism I can come up with (and it's based on the fact it's a bit too similar to something I'm used to seeing elsewhere). Love the subtle shadows under the boxes, the clean curve on the box corners, and the sizing of the icons in the top right. Really impressive work.

Plus the clean CSS makes it easier to replace the whole thing with ponies and rainbows once a year, which would be nice.
