Interesting project. I like the idea of instant organization-specific message boards and the heuristic you chose for creating them. I do, however, suspect that choosing the optimum way to handle subdomains will prove tricky. (Should cs.example.edu be considered the same as psy.example.edu or alumni.example.edu? If not, would it make sense to have a parent example.edu board that is shared between all of them them? The same goes for company departments with subdomains.)
Two suggestions on user onboarding: 1) put a log in and a registration link in the hamburger menu; 2) consider clarifying what "email-based" means when you use that term, i.e., point out that you do not actually send your comments via email.
- akira_y 10y agoThanks for the well-considered feedback. For now a match is when everything after'@' is the same. I figured this would be acceptable because many schools and businesses give users multiple addresses (address@domain and address@sub.domain). *also it's possible to add up to 3 email addresses through the settings page, though I haven't done a good job of making that known.
- akira_y 10y agoI've edited the hamburger menu like you suggested and have also made some changes to the UI. Link: http://imgur.com/a/cvNRi http://imgur.com/a/cvNRi
