Show HN: 20-Things – a friendly community without dark patterns

This is still very early stage (hoping to be able to launch in December this year) and many features are missing (such as threaded comments).

The Frontpage is limited to 20 things and auto-scrolling (endless scrolling) is not used, hoping to allow users to "get their fix" and not get lost in the content rabbit hole.

Signups require a valid SMS-capable phone number and some 40 countries are supported at this stage. Each user signup comes at a cost and I hope to achieve quality engagement and content rather than quantity.

By requiring a phone number (twitter and others seem to have this too), I hope to deter users with bad intentions. I hope to build a community where diversity is embraced and celebrated and users are kind and respectful of other viewpoints and ideas.

It would mean a lot if you could try it out and provide constructive feedback/thoughts/ideas.

Thank you.
