What I should've said from the beginning: I respect your opinion and (mostly) disagree, although I'll add my linkedIn link to the site to address anonymity concerns. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and hope you have a great day!

You can disagree (with what though?) but that doesn't really change anything: You have that website, but no one is gonna use it because there are thousands of better, more populated alternatives. HN is not the right place to jumpstart this, no one here is interested in an empty website. You'd have to put some big bucks into marketing, like all your competitors do.

I'm not just being a dick here; mostly a dick, but also realistic.

Might be true, don't know until we test, get feedback, iterate, etc.

> mostly a dick

On that I'll agree ;) realistic part is relative - you're also just guessing what 'people' want and assume everyone is like you. Based on the above assertion I hope not. Time may prove you right or wrong - no harm in testing an idea.
