I think the big product miss with OpenHunt was not showing the comments. The lack of conversation reduced it to just a list of links. I think a similar offering or even an updated re-release of this code with a visible discussion could be great. Thanks to jacquesc for giving it a great try and being so gracious to leave it open for someone else!
- jacquesc 11y agoThanks! I agree about the lack of public comments being a big mistake. We should have just thrown Disqus in there to get it started. We tried to do a weird, more complicated feedback feature and it didn't really work out.
- jfoster 11y agoActually, as someone who had the same product on both OpenHunt and featured on Product Hunt, I found the OpenHunt feedback very interesting. Perhaps a more open commenting feature would've been better across general users, but you didn't completely miss the mark!
- wuliwong 11y agoSorry for the super late response, I forgot about my comment. I wonder if another option would just to have things communicated a little more clearly to the commenter. Maybe some way to view all the comments you've sent, even allow you to edit them. Also, if they person receiving the comments had the option of responding, might be cool too?
