Nice project. Would it make more sense as a wiki, though? In order to better allow contributions, corrections and ideas from readers?

- DoreenMichele 8y agoI am kind of a subject matter expert here. My experiences suggest that, no, crowdsourcing information isn't particularly effective. I left a question on Metafilter yesterday. I am very much regretting it. Their solutions involve an awful lot of "Just buy more stuff!" and "Why don't you get a laptop?" type answers. Most people who are tech savvy make good money. They can't seem to wrap their brain around the constraints involved in using tech while homeless. It is an alien experience for them. Hopefully, the site will have some appeal for, say, campers, digital nomads and others and hopefully that will foster development of the site as well as helping to get traffic. But if I make it a crowdsourced resource, I am quite confident that it will soon stop being useful information for the intended purpose.
- miguelrochefort 8y agoI think a subreddit would be ideal, if one doesn't already exists.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoThat I am actually considering doing. I am fond of Reddit. Edit: And here you go: https://www.reddit.com/r/pocketputer/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pocketputer/
