Neat idea. You may want to crawl and farm some data from hackernews, reddit, lobste.rs, metafilter, stackoverflow etc. Maybe you could even use wikipedia reference links.
Right now the UI is very search centric, but there's not many results yet. If you look at wikipedia in 2001, search was at the bottom of the page, and it was more focused on adding content and browsing. https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/wikipedia-2001 https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/wikipedia-2001
* An idea would be to show contributors what others are searching for on the home page, so that they can add links to that search. I just searched for 'email' and found one link. Someone could see that and contribute their favorite related pages.
* To recreate wikipedia, you'll need some feedback mechanism for contributors to feel its worthwhile to contribute. This could be as simple as having a profile that tracks 'karma', 'likes', etc.
- zeeshanqureshi 5y agoGood suggestions. I don't think I'll be inclined to crawl or farm though. Thanks for taking the time to check the site out.
