OK, I'll bite. The tough part is that this is Hacker News, not Start-up News, much less Idealist News, etc. This probably isn't the right forum for evaluating a social/community ventures. Many people here have a deep understanding of how to start a business and make money, but not everyone knows how to address gaps in society (for lack of a better way of putting it).
Hacker News is many things to many people (I'm not in the start-up world right now myself) but it can't be everything to everyone.
Please don't take this or the (lack of) responses in some threads as a snub to the many ideas for improving society - I'm sure many of us have had and continue to have ideas for improving the world around us.
As for the title tag idea, hmm. Sure, why not give it a shot? I don't know that it hurts. Just know this may not be the best forum.
- Rhodee 15y agoThanks for the insight. And I agree with you. HN is a stream of consciousness. I read a post describing a project 'Coders who Care' and said to myself -'I almost missed this and its pretty awesome'...I figured there were others who were doing similar things or felt the same way and wanted to test the waters - thanks for the feedback.
