- We initiated the development of this idea by recognizing that any current website, application, e-commerce, or corporate website is striving to find the simplest and most convenient way for their audience to interact with others within their community. The most evident proof of this is that nearly 8/10 startup projects have Discord servers or Facebook groups to support their users, and this number rises to 11/10 for web3 projects (the surplus 1 accounts for a web3 project with a community, albeit one geared more towards deception than authenticity).
- The topic of discussion has been effectively addressed by other social networking sites. However, we aim to tackle a distinct issue beyond link-based discussions. A clear illustration of this is evident on the homepage of Hacker News, where the majority of posts consist of a single link, and conversations revolve around the content of that link.
- Put simply, our extension, in the case of Hacker News for instance, enables you to read the content of a website while engaging in parallel discussions with others. This eliminates the need to click on the web link and then return to read the comments from the Hacker News community.
- The problem of spam and undesirable content is a pervasive issue across the internet, not specific to any one platform. The most effective moderation approach is to empower users themselves.
- Website owners will have the authority to hide or downvote content they deem harmful or unfair. However, this process must strike a balance between the interests of the community and the owners, particularly if the website's content is genuinely detrimental to users.
> "No way to find what other people are talking about unless you happen to have the extension and go to a specific website."
=> We provide an additional SDK that allows owners to directly embed Builder into their websites without requiring end users to install the extension.
- Concerning mobile users, the ultimate goal is to create a mobile browser version where people can both browse the web and connect with the community on websites of their interest. Importantly, they are safeguarded by this community through a feature that detects harmful links, contributed and reported by users.
