Ask HN: I want to do a trial of Soylent – what do you guys want to see?
I've also been video blogging for a while and, as part of a new channel I'm working on, I'd like to experiment on myself in various ways and talk about the results. For that, Soylent seems like a good place to start.
I do have a few questions though:
* What do you want to see/hear from someone's experience with Soylent?
* What tests are worth getting to demonstrate before/after results?
* What are some of the best experiments that have been conducted so far?
The plan is to do a daily video for a month, then a large write-up, and if the trial seems promising, I'll continue with 1-2 videos per week.
There's no "catch" to this — if I'm lucky, ads on YouTube will pay for a day's worth of Soylent — but I do enjoy this sort of thing and plan to put a considerable amount of time and effort into making sure the videos are interesting and informative. (There'll be proper editing, etc.) I also have enough reservations about Soylent that I won't just be spouting their PR copy. I want it to work but I'm prepared to be critical.
If all of that sounds good to you, I'd love to hear your input
TL;DR — I want to do a daily video blog while experimenting with Soylent and want to know what you'd like to see/hear from that video blog. What tests I should get, etc.
