My Web 2.0 Application. Feedback wanted

3 points by prime0196 18y ago ↗ HN

The name of my application is Launchkey www.launchkey.com . It is a content monetization application for blogs/video websites. The core technology allows users to conduct searches within a website using keystrokes, but also can be used for links, images, and video.

Here are a few demos: blog:http://launchkey.blogspot.com video:http://launchkey.net/bunny images:http://launchkey.net/vick

I currently have a new feature set rolling out soon, but I would like the opinion of this audience just in case the changes that I'm making aren't on target.

I have applied to Y/C for the winter session and I think my chances are slim because I don't have a Co-Founder. So if your a hacker with skills in this space, drop me a line (javascript.atlanta(at)gmail.com)

really cool idea. i can only get the "L" key to work on your blogspot page, but i think there is lots of potential. the keyboard is essentially dead when you're looking at a website...never thought of that before!

The other keys are only active when you highlight a word and press a key that is linked to your desired search engine

ahh...that wasn't clear...very cool. maybe have some similar lightbox/iframe feature that brings up a cursor in search when you hit "g" with nothing selected?

Hi prime,

Good luck finding a cofinder. I'm not sure that YC will like this idea, but it is definitely an impressive "think you built."
