Definitely agreed, I specifically decided to start the alpha with the site being quite minimal, instead of trying to build a bunch of complex systems up-front.

Definitely agreed, I specifically decided to start the alpha with the site being quite minimal, instead of trying to build a bunch of complex systems up-front. I think it's really important that this kind of stuff gets built in an evolutionary sort of way. Trying to predict how humans will use a system before they're actually using it is almost impossible, and I'd much rather do it by seeing how things are being used in practice, and making adjustments based on that (as well as discussing with people how they think the changes will affect the site).
