On: My weekend hack postmortem: Iterating

[ecto]

If you guys have any feedback on the site or my writing, I'd love to hear!

It's a really interesting concept! And nicely executed too.

That being said, I don't know if I'll come back after having played with it for 5 minutes...

[ecto → cocoflunchy]

That's totally fine. I'm only intending this to be an experiment, and honestly something to hack on in my spare time.

I'm curious though, what would compel you to return?

[cocoflunchy → ecto]

That's an interesting question, and I don't think I have the answer... And if I did I wouldn't tell you and launch my own website ;)

Seriously though, I think it would be hard to get a sense of community on a website where you can't identify the persons that are interacting with you... But of course the whole point is to be anonymous.

PS: what about the pokeball there ?

[braco_alva → cocoflunchy]

I think the pokeball is because of the name of the service, there was this character in Pokemon called Prof. Oak.

What gives 4chan a sense of community? I agree, just wondering.

[cocoflunchy → ecto]

You're right, I don't know. oak.io is indeed starting to look like 4chan a little...

[simantel → cocoflunchy]

But 4chan has some sense of community, no?
