Hey HN,

I’ve been working on a project called Indexium, a community-driven platform where people can contribute articles on any topic they’re passionate about. It’s like an open version of Wikipedia, but with a focus on giving individuals more voice and flexibility in what they write.

Right now, I’m trying to grow a base of contributors who are into sharing their knowledge—whether it’s about technology, history, science, or niche topics. I’d love feedback on the platform, especially from the HN community, which I know has a lot of smart folks with unique insights.

Here’s the link: Indexium

Would love to hear your thoughts on:

What makes a good community-driven platform for knowledge sharing? What features are most important to you as a contributor or reader? I’m all ears for constructive criticism or suggestions. Thanks in advance!


Done

Sure

Yes, absolutely! The concept behind the project could be extended to pull 1 billion different data points from a database like DynamoDB, instead of using static checkboxes.

One of the main reasons I used checkboxes was to keep it simple and lightweight for this initial experiment. However, pulling dynamic data points from a DB like DynamoDB would offer much more flexibility and scalability.
