Both good points. > First, what is the problem you are trying to solve? Second, what do you think are/will be the key components of your approach? Before Forrst existed, I didn't really enjoy sharing design- or development-related things on Twitter or Tumblr -- it felt like sharing these things into a black hole. I wanted somewhere that felt more close-knit, and where interesting discussion could be had around those things. For me, Forrst is that place (and I'm hoping others will agree). I don't think you necessarily need to be a designer-developer combo; designers with an interest in development (who may or may not write code, too), and developers who appreciate (or create) design, both could potentially find a good fit on Forrst. One of the biggest goals I have for Forrst is to help people connect and engage with like-minded peers. Am I far off in inferring you see Forrst as a place where you could potentially meet a designer or developer to collaborate with? I think this may be a very interesting -- and plausible -- side effect of having a very focused community. > Forrst seems to be trying to make a forum/community for designers, developers, and designers/developers, but I wonder if designers really want to learn about Common Lisp web frameworks, or whether developers are really interested in design problems. I also wonder whether trading links, code snippets, and images can produce the same kind of trust as that produced by working side-by-side on an actual project. That said, this may not be the goal. Agreed, not 100% of the content posted on Forrst will be relevant to 100% of its users. There are some things in the works that should help to address the filtering problem -- being able to find things that are highly relevant to you is something I hope Forrst help with. Like I mentioned before, I think that even if you're not 100% hybrid dev-designer, anyone with an interest or appreciation for the other side would be at home on Forrst.
