I think this is a marvellous idea, and I'm now an official backer. One thing that I'm worried about is that a "pay wall" sort of model might prevent casual users from signing up. Maybe a paid API / developer model might work better.
For instance, the vast majority of GitHub users don't pay a dime, since they only use open source projects (which are free to host). There are many people/companies that use the paid service (mine included), but we pay for the "added feature" of being able to keep the repo private.
Good luck with the cause! There's potential here.
- dalton 14y agoagree. there will be no pay wall. Members can post their content publicly or privately and non-members can view public content
- scottmagdalein 14y agoI can't put my finger on it, but something feels unbalanced. So, are paid users simply paying for the ability to post private updates? Or are they paying for access to other users' private updates?
- obvio171 14y agoIt seems like they're paying to post updates. It will be read-only of public posts for non-members.
