Is it really really necessary to have that captcha?? Lending brain power to the worlds biggest advertising and spy operation is a turn off. Besides it sucks to sit there and click endless images of traffic lights, cars, busses and store fronts...


Sorry about that, but I need to protect mail server.

Captcha doesn't send ideas data to google as the ideas are not part of the submit form.

But totally agree with you.

Todo: change captcha to a local php solution.


To help me get started, I wouldn't mind seeing an example of what the start of an idea-mining session looks like with this interface. I've never done anything like this so I could use some inspiration for how to use such a tool.


The inspiration is on the left side. It can be a title or something in the summary or comments. When something sparks an idea, click to create a new note about it.


I don't know what "dig" means in the context of this app and therefore I don't understand the purpose of the app.


Dig is like in "idea digging" or "vinyl crate digging".


Nice! Kudos for also making it open source. Direct link: https://github.com/giekaton/hacker-dig


Who adds the summaries?

Asking since the first one I looked at was just weird, something about core dump percentages or...dunno?


Summaries are extracted with Aylien API, free plan. Sometimes they can be a bit random or missing.


this is great and open source, what is the idea behind it?
