We're in beta at the moment, and are in need of a bunch of tech-savy beta testers to essentially break the site before we go any further.

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated and you even get a badge to say you were here when it all started.

Questions/comments are welcome. Criticisms are encouraged. You can email us at feedback@scrollr.co

Cheers!

So how is this like Reddit? Do you allow users to create their own sub-groups where they can submit images visible only within that domain? What about user driven moderation?

The quote is from a twitter user on our launch, really its not overly like reddit aside from the fact that users vote on content. That content is then ordered based on the score. You can view the front page by hot (score vs. time) best (score) or new (time). In the next few days we're launching a category feature that will allow users to select hashtags and fill in a scroll with content tagged with those hashtags, which is similar to how redditors subscribe to certain subs!

So the content is definitely user moderated, and there will be an aspect of sub-domains built in to the existing hashtag functionality.

Thank you for the clarification. I would very much welcome the addition of groups (private (invite only), read only and public) and allow users to take ownership and moderation duties for them.

Invite only isn't something we'd thought of - that's an excellent idea! Taking user interaction to another level. Beautiful!

ah mobile, the app is on its way! Thanks for that added to our bug list.

Ooh, pretty fun! I played with it for a little while for ya and signed up! Best wishes from a fellow founder! :)

Thanks! Welcome on board.

p.s. your shop has some fantastic stuff! Do you ship to New Zealand by any chance?

Aww, thanks! I can definitely ship to New Zealand for you! I just figured out how to adjust the shipping prices accordingly. If it ends up being less that the stated price, we refund the difference. Thanks for pointing out something I really needed to address asap! :) Angie

Beautiful thanks Angie - the vast majority of our current users are Kiwis! :)

I very much like the look and layout of the site.. nice job!

Thankyou! It was designed and developed by two 17 year olds straight out of school and they really appreciate the feedback.

Its not going to work without porn.

hahaha we actually considered trademarking 'scrollher' as the porn subsidiary... seriously though porn is fine as long as it's appropriately tagged NSFW!

Cool, i like it :)

Said my browser was incompatible (firefox 17.0.6)

Sorry about that, we're working on back-dating browsers as we speak! The site is very browser-intensive and we found locking it down to only the latest browsers was the fastest way to get a product to market. It will be completely compatible by the time we launch

Hope you don't mind me asking why you're still on 17?

Forced to at work. They refuse to upgrade.
