Inspired (mainly) by various threads coming up here at HN regularly, I thought of creating an information portal of sorts for tech startup entrepreneurs and after about 200 hours of code hacking/designing, content research etc. the outcome is:
http://www.StartOpedia.org
* Tech/Startup News/advice aggregator
* Directory of (user submitted) Startups
* A categorised resource directory of Startup-interest web sites (Users can submit sites)
* Disqus-powered commenting
* General-purpose Message Board
* A section on Failed Startups
* Job Board
* More in the works :)
Still (many) rough edges there that we're working on, but done for the most part.
I built it primarily for this (HN) community and now (while we - me and my people - continue to expand/improve it), I invite all interested HNers to pitch-in with/contribute/share what they can.
Some specific ways/areas (in no particular order) where you can help are:
1. Send bug reports
2. Provide General feedback (please post here or at the site message board)
3. Send New ideas / suggestions
4. Submit Startup information (yours or others)
5. Suggest Startup advice feeds
6. Suggest Startup resources (under the resource directory - Add URL)
7. Suggest a structure/content plan for the 'Failed Startups' section
8. Suggest a structure/content plan for the 'Job Board' section
9. Suggest additional categories for the Resource Directory
and
10. Anything else you can think of
We've given it our best shot, now please help us make it more useful for the community.
