Taketake Pre-Launch

http://taketake.com We are pre-launching taketake.com. Taketake helps you share news of your wants and haves with your friends and the world. Think check-in, but for things instead of places. People can request invitations to taketake, but no invitations are being sent out yet. We will begin to send invites later this month. Would love to hear what you guys think. Competitors: Blippy, Swipely, Svpply, TheFancy (thingd)

Taketake Pre-Launch launched on January 3, 2011 with 11 votes, #31 of 127 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Taketake is a sharing platform that lets users broadcast information about items they want or own to friends and the broader public, functioning like a check-in service but focused on things rather than locations. The service is in pre-launch phase, accepting invitation requests with the intention to distribute invites later in January 2011. It competes with similar social commerce platforms in the space.

    Hi HN, I’m Saad and I built BestPick.online. We made this because your profile picture is often your first impression — whether you're on a dating app, LinkedIn, Instagram or building a personal brand. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} Here’s what it does: - Upload 2-3 photos of yourself. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} - Choose the goal (dating app, professional, social, etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} - The AI instantly rates them and shows which one works best for that goal. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} We believe: - Different platforms need different kinds…

    WhatMyFriendsRead.com - social link sharing2011 · ▲9

    Somebody said "Launch early, launch often", so I guess it's about time. WhatMyFriendsRead.com -- a social recommendation service for interesting links and content. Main idea: What is interesting for you is what your friends find interesting. I made a functional prototype hacked together in php+mysql with ugly html+css. But it works which is why I guess now would be a "launch early" moment. Or atleast show to a bunch of people for feedback :-) On the site your main source of links is from people you add as your friends or people you subscribe to. People you subscribe to provide you with links…

    LookTake – Try anyone's makeup, outfit, or hairstyle on your photoFeb 2026 · about.looktake.io · ▲7

    Hi HN, I'm Taemin. I built LookTake, a social platform where users share beauty, fashion, and hair looks, and anyone can "Take" that look onto their own photo using AI. I worked at a game company in Korea doing AI research — graphics, vision, and image generation. I built the in-house image gen service there. While reading generative AI papers, I came across virtual try-on research and had a realization: people will eventually shop by seeing products on themselves, not just browsing photos of models. I started experimenting on weekends. The early results were rough, but promising enough that…

    Yesterday the top upvoted comment for "Why We Desperately Need a New (and Better) Google" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2057772 was adding personal domain blacklists. I offered to build this if there was enough interest so here's a minimum viable product for Chrome (Firefox soon to follow): https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jiicbcimbjppjbckmoknagndlhjbeohb.
