Thanks for your lovely comment!

Yes I have, theme sites are not accepting it because of the lack of features. I didnt know how to argue with them

If anyone wants to purchase it, they can always contact me directly

I absolutely LOVE your design! Bravo, great job! It’s one of the best minimalist ones I’ve ever seen.

Have you thought about selling it as a theme here or at some of the theme sites?

Overall, I do quite like. Especially the font used in post titles and other larger text elements thought the site. I do however have two complaints.

First of all, the font for the bodies of the posts. Serif fonts are gorgeous when they are relatively large, when they get so small they just become a huge pain to read. Same goes for the comment bodies except there (or here rather) the italicization makes it even harder to read.

Second, while not as large of an issue, is still slightly annoying. Would be quite wonderful if it would be easier to see when a specific post was published. At the moment it’s obviously impossible to see from the front page when the most recent post was made and even on a specific post page it takes a bit of hunting around to find the date if its your first time on the site.

But other then that, not bad, not bad at all, probably one of the more visually appealing blogs I’ve seen in some time.

PS: Being a designer too, would it not be too much to ask for to get some critique from you on the design of my own blog?

Thanks,
Michael Flux

It doesn’t seem to pick up many really small, local coffee shops, because those aren’t in the yellow pages directory, but for the coffee shops it knows about, it works fine.

How accurate is it?

@Kumailht I have no idea, since there’s no analytics on it. Based on the number of visitors to my main site, I’d guess that there are few people using it.

Ya, I guess comments really affect the way it all feels. Since you had commented, I never noticed that.
I don’t live in the US, I would have definitely used it. Do you get a lot of traffic on it?

@Kumailht Apparently I should have looked at a post with comments in it, since there doesn’t seem to be much of a problem when there are comments. I love the way the avatars are on the side. It’s great.

As for the get me coffee app, at the moment it only works in the US. I’m using http://yellowpages.mapquest.com/ for my data, and the only support the US.
