Show HN: Dedesign the Web 2 – Guess the website based on its wireframe (dedesigntheweb.com)

The placeholder hints at a name.something format so why is facebook.com incorrect? Also, after guessing Medium correctly, it seemed as though the image was out of sync with the input as it flashed the incorrect banner, telling me that it was something else.


I didn't recognize Medium as I never even knew it had a front page. I've always clicked through on article links.


Image out of sync with answer for me too.


facebook.com worked for me, as well as just facebook


This is a bit promotional given the last answer (being the company who made the quiz). Any mods agree?


Indeed, it's one of many posts talking about some characteristic about well known sites where i can advertise some other sites because they share that characteristic (usually top 10 websites to do X).


When I answer a question correctly (Chrome 37, OS10.9) both the "try again" and "correct" options show with the "try again" message covering the "correct" message, so it appears as though I answered incorrectly.


This site displays that I'm incorrect when I'm correct. I started over several times trying to guess the url format they'd accept.


It was buggy but my score remained correct.


Hey guys, it's wikipedia.org, not wikipedia.com.


How did you build the wireframes? Automatically? If so, that's impressive!


Sqetch [1] is listed in the credits, so I'm guessing done manually in Illustrator.

It took me a while to figure out how to submit my guess at first as my brain automatically registered the header as a navbar and skipped over it.


I guessed youtube.com for one of them, and the screenshot of the answer is youtube.com, but it told me that facebook.com was the correct answer.


Yea, this happened to me on all of them. I missed the first answer which was facebook (I know...), then all of the subsequent ones I answered correctly told me I was wrong and the answer was facebook. Though I still got the points. I'm thinking it has something to do with me allowing javascript after answering the first question, I'm not sure though.


The site is super buggy; it's difficult to know what sort of input it's expecting, and banners were out of sync.


This was tough. I'm ambivalently surprised and unsurprised at how the color scheme provides so much to the design.


I guessed facebook and facebook.com and it said incorrect? Cool idea, but that execution tho...


Ugh, speaking of UIs, this UI has a pest problem. Dedesign this site before promoting it.
