Honest feedback, not from someone who has stopped to analyze your website with proper care, but instead from a tired guy after a long day, with very limited patience and only 5 seconds. Don't take it badly, because most online behavior goes very similar to this, and I hope it's valuable feedback somehow!

1: "talk, ponder,free your mind" is a very bad slogan. it's telling me what to do, instead of suggesting it, and also the last bit is absolute nonsense in this context - I hope it's a placeholder

2: this looks a lot like reddit. get out of here fast

3: come on, at least try to read the titles of these "threads" to see if there's anything interesting

4: nothing interesting, nothing unique, there's science stuff here but that's probably derived from HN traffic

5: quit




Fair enough! The slogan is def not concrete, just something I pulled out a hat one late night so to speak...

It's fundamentally a place for open live discussion and may not be appealing as much for casual reading (yet).

The core focus so far has been building a solid chat foundation but planning to enhance other aspects of the site soon.

The content of the site is set by the people there, and since it's essentially starting from zero that means there isn't a large base of content yet, nor even a way to filter yet.

What sort of topics/content are you looking for?


I would highly recommend that the name change - I can't help but imagine a shrill bird call, or interpret the name as a Twitter parody (which makes it hard to take seriously).


In hindsight I might not have chosen that name but it was a fear years ago and now it sort of stuck... idk


Sqwok -- where discussion _lives_
