1. We will make that easier, once we’re past the closed beta. I’m just trying to do is throttle this area a little. My concern is that if we open it up entirely, we’ll find it polluted with spam. So, we’re setting a completed bio as the baseline for posting new content. (And, yes, I realize I’m somewhat responsible for the Catch-22 I describe.)
Once we see that it’s working properly and have a bit more time to build in some mechanisms (i.e., prompting members to complete their profiles, in order to gain post permissions), we’ll open up posting to the entire community. In a perfect world, we’d already have that in place. However, we need to get some critical stuff sorted first (i.e., the ability to edit posts).
2. Yes: I think so, too, especially because I remember essentially begging folks to “hunt” us on Product Hunt, when we first started Officehours. This is the weird part of where we’re at. I know that this is something I was looking for, a few years ago. In fact, I even wrote this post, on the subject: www.erickarjaluoto.com/blog/places-to-post-your-startup. However, getting those first folks to participate is often a little challenging. ;-)
