What should I add? I'm open to suggestions.
- wensing 17y agoJust a few ideas: * A little structure could go a long way (for scraping). * A field for startup name * Picture * "Next >"? Sometimes I wish I could just page through profile pages by karma descending. Random might be fun too. * Last N tweets? (The Hacker News twitter list http://twitter.com/tlrobinson/hackernews http://twitter.com/tlrobinson/hackernews is fantastic, but I wish the linkage between twitter profiles and HN profiles were more transparent)
- replicatorblog 17y agoA resource like this Google Doc, but limited to people with a certain karma threshold. A way to connect potential founders that are geographically separate. I know that cofounders should know each other so not a start up dating site, but a place where people looking to throw their hat in the startup ring can make first connections with other like minded folks. Current solutions like meetups get overcrowded with the unskilled "idea guy" who needs someone to build his half baked social net. HN would be a great filter.
- netcan 17y agotags/area-of-interest of some sort. Eg: Fashion, e-commerce, education. You could find someone with experience or interest in education, read their comments and submissions and get a feel for how they think. Maybe an 'open for solicitation' checkbox. Basically that's all I can think of. Some way of finding people by criteria.
- po 17y agoPerhaps links to other profiles, people most commenting on/with, friends, etc.
- DenisM 17y ago* I need help with: "A,B,C" (text field) * I'm pretty good at and willing to help with: "X,Y,Z" (another text field) * I'm in Seattle, WA, USA I could certainly add this myself, but it wouldn't be possible to see all info on one page for many people - that kind of thing requires scrape-friendly format that enforces some kind of structure on the input text.
- adrianwaj 17y agofields: about, email, 3 urls, location text, location lat/long, looking for people with, interest areas, skills, comments, (pre-existing HN metrics: karma, posts, username, date created) You'll need an API to access it, or else a viewer on site that presents as a sortable, paginated table.
- DTrejo 17y agoWhatever you do, I would shy away from making it more mainstream. For example I don't like the idea of "friends" or profile pictures. I don't want this to turn into a mini-facebook.
- alanthonyc 17y agoHow about categories for the posts? Something like the ones jacquesm used.
- rms 17y agoCheckbox to make email displayed publicly in a spam-protected way!
