Without the logins, how do you prevent people from posting things to each other's lists?
For instance: I have a list called "Good Bars in Phoenix" (http://thingist.com/t/list/65/ http://thingist.com/t/list/65/), which is a list of bars that I like...without the logins, what is to prevent, say, user "Aaron" from posting to that?
One of the use cases is my friend Dave. When he retired from his corporate job, he got a new blackberry. Over the several years that he had had that blackberry (likely that account on exchange, actually) he had been keeping a list of wines that he had tried and liked. When he gave up his old blackberry, he lost his list of wines. How would Dave keep it as "Dave's" list of wines without having logins?
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you're saying...sorry. I looked at instapaper to see if I could see an example of what you meant, but it seems to act just about the same. If I click on "Read Later", it prompts me to either login, or create an account.
>2. Instead have a field for name. Make it wordy, like: [name field with grayed out random name, like John] likes/hates [empty field with grayed out random thing, like football figurines].
If you've registered, this is what you would see: http://i.imgur.com/TwPwb.png http://i.imgur.com/TwPwb.png (The title is picked randomly from your group of lists). I think this is actually even simpler and more specific than what you're saying.
I really really appreciate the criticism, honestly. I'm not trying to say "durr hurr, my way is best!", I hope what I just said doesn't come across as that.
>I could probably work on something real quick to show you what I mean.
If it's not any trouble, that would be hugely appreciated, thank you. :)
(Now I just wish I had a lot of users so that I could A/B test the two)
Again, thanks.
I think one thing I could improve right now (well, as soon as I get home, actually), is including both the registration form and the login form if you click "add" without being logged in...
