Yes? Very few posts actually contain more information than the little blurb... which makes it feel more like a curated Twitter hashtag than an actual blog, but that's not on you. That will come from people using it. The similarity between the layout and twitter made a few things confusing: I tried clicking on a username to go to that user's profile and was instead directed to the list. This behavior is fine, but I think because the UI is so familiar, I wanted it to behave in a familiar way.

Good point, I should definitely adjust the UI so it feels familiar. My goal is to keep the posts as lists of bullet points (keep it short). Too much text would not solve the problem of not having enough time to digest content. I was even thinking of limiting the number of characters like Twitter did. Is it even different than Twitter? Yes, the content is structured and evergreen knowledge. What are your thoughts?

  The content - right now - is structured and evergreen. If you suddenly attract a few thousand users, do you think you can maintain that? Do you expect to be able to curate all the posts? There doesn't seem to be any requirement for me to make a list be an actual list. I can make a single-bullet list and move on, so what prevents this from being just another link-sharing service like Tumblr? These are all questions I'd be asking myself if this was my project. I like the concept and the layout is strong.

    This is very true. That's literally what happened with the first users.. I decided to do some adjustments. I am happy to share my thoughts with you, let me know what you think: 1) Knowledge will be published from authorized channels only. Random users will no longer appear. 2) The YC Library is an example of channel I created. There will be more of those. I will curate all the posts until we have more traction 3) I am thinking of making channels subscription based. This would motivtate qualified people to build strong channels with good ratings. BTW, thx for giving me so much feedback!
