The comment I was going to write initially:
You might enjoy "Rage Inside the Machine" by Robert Eliott Smith which describes how systems like social networks can be manipulated by introducing a small group of highly motivated, but strategically placed actors (human or algorithmic).
And now, unsolicited UX feedback, Hacker News style™!
1. put the content of "?" in the front page for users who are not logged in, instead of "you're not following anyone"
2. split the 3 key points you mention there into three columns with titles, so the user (no need to do anything more complex, just throw in a flexbox in CSS)
I like the idea of the site, but 1. would make its purpose a bit more obvious/save you some time explaining the idea, and 2. would make the now obvious easier to digest by a new user/scan visually
- hot_gril 4y agoThanks for the tips. As you can maybe tell, I'm pretty new to UI dev. A lot of those divs are using fixed pixel sizes calculated by hand in React because I lost my patience with CSS, but yeah I'll put the (?) page into a flexbox. > social networks can be manipulated by introducing a small group of highly motivated, but strategically placed actors I should read the book and see if there's anything I didn't think of, cause one of my top concerns was making something hard to exploit.
