Yes, there are some topics that are quite empty with resources sadly. However this can change with contributions and users using the website.
For example there is a map for learning Machine Learning (https://learn-anything.xyz/machine-learning https://learn-anything.xyz/machine-learning) which is quite large. There are a few other maps like that in the database.
All together there are over 2,000 maps available currently but this number too will grow with contributions.
- gitgud 9y agoHave you thought about adding some kind of reputation system? To give incentive for contribution by users. A voting system could also be useful in verifying that the content is accurate/relevant to users.
- nikivi 9y agoA voting system is already in place. Users can upvote or downvote resources according to what they like and think is useful. Having some kind of reputation system is also a really good idea. You were thinking of having it similar to Reddit where you get `karma` for posting good resources?
- gitgud 9y agoThanks for the responses (to both threads). Yes, reputation is an important factor to the success of all these platforms; Reddit, Stackoverflow, Imgur, Hacker news.... It gives a quantifiable measure of how much you're helping a community. Without it, members can't see the effects of the contributions they've made, and are probably less likely to continue contributing. I personally believe it's an extremely small minority of people who will contribute to your website for altruistic reasons alone.
