I was a bit hesitant to release it this early to be honest but thought it was better just to "get it out there" and start getting feedback even if it is rough around the edges.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Being honest this is a really early stage idea and basically I just wanted to get some nice photography on the home page.

Data is currently stored in RDS on Amazon. When moving to doing private discussions (the next major feature) then I'll really focus in on security and possibly encryption on the messages. Privacy is an interesting topic actually. Making sure private conversations are "unreadable" is something I'm very interested in.

That's interesting. I never would have thought of that. I just started with the word "discussion" and tried to find an available .com. It's so difficult to find domains for new products.

Thanks. Haha I take your point about the images. I'll look into getting some higher quality and more relevant material on the homepage to explain the concept a bit more.

That feels like the hardest problem initially. Like you said it's difficult to really explain the concept until there is more content and discussion happening.

Adding the ability to post "anonymous" comments was partly motivated by people who might not want to sign up. If a conversation is "open" then anyone can start commenting without having to sign up.

Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. Perhaps a video demo might be a good idea for the homepage to explain the concept. The basic idea is that you create a conversation about anything (making it open to public discussion or anonymous comments) and then just start talking. Kind of like a low friction way to start talking with other people about something online. I decided to push it out early to get some feedback. There is a lot of work to be done. The next feature will be to add private conversations.

A tool I made to quickly start and discuss things online. The idea is to quickly setup a conversation about something, share the link and start talking. Comments can be public or anonymous.

Will definitely consider changing this. Currently it's very early stage so all feedback is really useful. Currently working on gathering more jobs, implementing better search and making good recommendations depending on a programmers particular skills and interests. Thanks again for the feedback. Really appreciate it. : )

Appreciate the feedback by the way. Thanks. : )

Hi. Yeah you're right. I'll look into making it more open this week. The initial idea was to gauge interest so it seemed like a good idea to see if people were interested in signing up and getting personal recommendations for programming jobs. But it's certainly possible to make it much more open.

Still very early stages. Feedback very welcome : )

Thanks. It's still an early idea at this stage. Appreciate the feedback. Will definitely look into the contrast issue you mentioned.
