Anyone willing to checkout a startup I just launched?

Hi guys,

A friend and I are super excited to start the launch of our startup tonight. The website is called Ramblez, and its a place where guys and girls can anonymously ask each other questions. If anyone would be willing to check it out / give criticisms / post a few things I would be insanely grateful.

Here's the URL: http://ramblez.com

Thanks yall!

I'm thinking many comments from girls might actually be from men. What if you made it possible for people to verify their gender via Facebook login, and displayed a 'verified gender' icon next to their comments? Possibly even required this for someone to be allowed to post a comment.

How are you going to make money? Ads, if I may guess?

Edit Being a software dev, I noticed you're not using HTTPS, that makes the site feel a bit less anonymous to me. (I suppose most people won't notice though.)

I like it, but you should add some tags with the questions, because "Is a head expected on the first date?" next to "What is the tech stack of this website?" feels a bit weird - I may have the wording of the questions wrong, but you get the idea.

Haha, agreed; categories/tags would actually add the possibility of content selection. I even suppose the lack of those will shift people away from the site; I closed the page as soon as I saw those NSFW questions.

Good luck!

The ability to link to questions and share them via social media would help.

Overall, the UI is clean an intuitive - nice job!

Seriously, "What does it feel like to have a meat log in your pants 24/7?". Wow.

It should be noted that most of these comments are likely preseeded by the creators.

Ew.

I could definitely see that getting addicting. Good show!
