Hi all,

Kudos to Umberto for finding the StackOverflow free ads for open source projects thing. I have a busy day but I pulled together a quick ad for submission to it – here. SO is requiring that ads be calls for contributors, so ... that's what it is. Thoughts / critiques?

Thanks,
Dave

I just love the #sproutcore line!

I think that as it is it could be difficult to spot in a crowded web page. For that I would try to make the logo more visible, by either changing its opacity or removing some text and leaving only:

Come help make the best native-caliber web apps. #sproutcore

I really like the new version MUCH better, and I like the way that the logo kinda peeks out to say hello. It urges you to check it out, like you're missing something :-)

It's terrible. The spacing between "web apps" and "even better" is all off.

Okay final draft, pending any other thoughts: http://imgur.com/VKcJxaB

Does anyone have a sec to fix the sproutcore community site's twitter feed today? That's the page I'd like to link in the ad, and I'd like to pull the trigger on the ad today or tomorrow if possible.

Looks good to me. I'll take a look at the SproutCore page here in a second and see if I can fix it. Not sure if we just need to upgrade the widget or what, but I'll see what I can do.

Posted here with some last-minute tweaks! Now we just need as many upvotes as we can muster. I have to run but could someone send a quick note out to the general list?

Tried to upvote, but it turns out you need 15 reputation, which I don't have on meta…

Just upvoted it to get it to 6 so it should start appearing now! You can track the number of clicks here: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/ads/display/195823
