The Joyce museum, in an old Martello tower, is defined worth a trip if you are in Dublin.

Not working for me. In Ireland.


Fantastic work. It looks like a lot of fun. Any plans to bring down the weight and produce one for sale?

I have two nephews that would flip out with joy if they got one of these.


Have you heard of One Wheel?

That looks absolutely amazing! The large wheel makes it a lot more usable imo.

But what's plan b when something goes wrong? On the electric skateboards you can at least break in the good old fashion way.


People have been riding skateboards/longboards without brakes for many years now. Plan "B" is often a good set of pads.

I rode an early version, it's pretty fantastic.


That's an expensive wheel!


Nice site.

You probably don't need the splash screen though. It a blocker to the user in getting to the information contained within. I clicked the the "Browse Knowledge" link first and spent a few minutes happily discovering information about the history of industrial design. However when I went back and clicked "Discover design" I thought I had landed on a poor pinterest clone for product design.

Personally I think the Commentary on the items is your USP and it should be front and center. Possibly allow users to filter between the imagery and the posts within in the same view.

All of this aside I have bookmarked your site I like it a lot. Great work and good luck.


We implemented the concept of knowledge over design. As you said our USP is the knowledge shared by our users. Now you can share your knowledge right on the front page of a design if you are logged in. And we hide the detail information of a design in the side bar page.

Please tell us what you think. Thanks a lot!


What do you think about a grid/list view switch in the listing page, by clicking that, you can switch between grid and list view? Thanks.


That sounds perfect. It is probably best to make the default view a list. http://blog.getprismatic.com/list-beats-grid-linear-feeds-pe...


Great to know this! Thank you so much for your input!


Thank you very much for your feedback. It makes a lot of sense. My colleagues and I will go through it line by line.


Hi again!

What do you think about the current list view layout? Is it more comfortable to browse?

Thanks.


Very nice. It's a good balance.

You might want to keep the same proportions on mobile though. Your responsive design loses the multiple items on the list and could give the impression that there's only one item on the page.


Hi!

Right now we don't display the description of design on mobile browser anymore. Does it look better on your phone now?

BTW, have you ever browsed Everious with an iPad? If yes, how's your experience?

Thanks again.


Thanks for your tip, we are looking into it. You are right, our responsive design currently is not very well optimized for mobile.


We also give up the splash screen design. Do you think it is easier to read information than before? Thanks.


For now, we switch back to the splash screen design, sorry.


Do you have a Twitter account? We would like to follow you so that we can keep in touch in the future :)
