The landing page is custom designed! So using tools like paper and Figma, and then translating into a next.js site.
Moderation is based on two things:
1. A spam/bad word filter. It's pretty aggressive and inspired by a variety of OSS tools, but definitely could be better.
2. An easy reporting tool available for any user-generated content. It could be more prominent for requests, so that's something I'll fix shortly.
I hacked together a small dashboard to surface whatever's caught by those two things. For the beta test, it's been working pretty well.
Feel free to ask any followups!
- xiaolingxiao 6y agoYou know one thing you can do w/ content moderation is go all the way to the source, if you make it more "expensive" (by some measure, not necessarily w/ money) to send a message, then it would discourage a lot of trolls who wouldn't even bother to make the effort.
- andrewthebold 6y agoYeah! Lots of potential in this idea. Right now it's a free-for-all, but limiting the number of things you can do in a given session might also incentivize more quality messages. Other possibilities too. I'm trying to avoid gamification mechanics (like maintaining a request-reply ratio, like counts, etc), so that's a consideration.
- xiaolingxiao 6y agoHey Andrew I just downloaded your app and it's very tastefully done! The UI just puts me at ease and is a "living breathing character" in itself, may sound silly but I definitely get the vibe. Could I reach out to you and give you some feedbacks? And I have tons of ideas about automated content moderation, etc.
