It's not that your idea doesn't have merit. It does. I went down this path myself, in the beginning.
But if you game out the implications of this, the conclusion is that everyone will see a different front page. And that has a bunch of subtle implications.
Reddit tried it. It could work. But it makes for a divided community, or set of communities. You see this with the various subreddit wars.
Do you have an email I can chat with you more about this? Hit me up if you're interested.
- ibgib 9y agoWe can "chat" in this ibGib: https://www.ibgib.com/as-chat/pic%5E6F40CA17107671491E64DB0BFEAF659C64FB49B933E5390D4DC86D1A496E8A8D https://www.ibgib.com/as-chat/pic%5E6F40CA17107671491E64DB0B... I've started to respond a little bit to your conclusion of seeing different front pages. Note that the site seems to be a little slow at the moment (I'm not much of an optimized coder, as the underlying tech is hard enough - premature optimization and all that).
- sillysaurus3 9y agoThis was quite unexpected, and incredibly cool. This is your chat project, right? Are there desktop notifications? Can I read more about it somewhere? I'm a bit busy tonight with hacking, but I'll keep the tab open and check it periodically.
- ibgib 9y agoOh, and also, I should say anyone interested can join that "chat" (not that there will be anyone, mind you)... And it's especially slow today - not seen it like this before. Barely possible I'm hitting the extent of my small instance's capabilities.
