I love the minimalistic design. I got inspiration from tons of website. I like few of the below design facebook.com quora.com (inspired by facebook) 280north.com github.com airbnb.com dropbox.com

Can you guys please give me your list of favorite minimalistic design. We thought a lot about the design, and we come up with one simpler style for our project http://www.codesnipr.com but thinking to redesign it again. Any thoughts on this?

I am following the startup space since last 4 year. Addicted user to HN. Despite strong interest and motivation never able to startup. I have lots of ideas and spent lot of time learning different programming language. But not able to focus and execute well or some other issue related to day job. Finally thought to give it a try. First thing I thought to build up a team though it is not suggested idea as per HN culture. But my idea is not to hire software developer, rather build a team from scratch. Literally the group I started they have very less exposure to computer or some never touch the keyboard. It's true. Any way it started. Guys are really hard working. I divided the team into groups and started learning small small thing at a time. One started on html,css coding, one guy started gimp, one php, one javascript/jquery, one sql,ubuntu stuff and other helping on marketing. The team expense is not much. $100 running monthly cost of living expense of all 5 people one working part time from home. As English is not the first language we had very hard time to understand the articles and learn the concept behind them. Still we persevere and able to know little bit.

Though we still learning and will continue to learn. We think there are few people like us who will face the same problem as us. And they also want the learning is simple experience. So we started working on the idea for allowing anyone to post a simple code snippet with title and explanation about that code snippet. It's that simple nothing much is there. Only one problem we found how to order those information, becoz new user want the table of content format style. If we allow the user to keep on posting the content it may be random. We didn't found the solution yet. But for the time being we are curating those articles, and making the ordering so that if user click on the HTML and click the basic tab on home page he can see a ordered list of articles. Also very small feature we added like syntax highlighting, and copy the code functionality and basic commenting functionality from user.

Much appreciated any feedback or suggestion to improve the site. And few encouraging word or feedback to keep us motivated and continue to work towards it. This is just the starting from our team and we will be continuing.
