I don't really feel like 'going after Pinterest'. Makr is more about helping people MAKE new things, not just endlessly re-pin and reblog. Certainly some UI things work on Pinterest, but what we are enabling people to do is quite different.
And no worries about feedback, it always helps us get better and better, so thanks!
- irollboozers 14y agoI am just wondering, what is the end-goal here? What is the best case scenario where you could have unlimited users creating whatever content you want? What does that look like? Cause I'm not getting it at the moment. It kind of looks like Reddit for ADD kids.
- mbs348 14y ago> It kind of looks like Reddit for ADD kids. Not terribly far off base. We want to build something that helps people actually create and influence things on the web, rather than just re/blog/share and discuss them. It's giving people a really simple way to participate with stuff they find funny/cool/interesting. Later, we would love to power people being able to play and interact with all types of content from all sorts of different places, but for now we are trying to get the core interactions right.
- irollboozers 14y agoSo it seems you want more 'remixing' and less user created/uploaded content, a la Imgur with some added text. Now I'm picturing pulling content from Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Tumblr, 4chan(?) but creating a personal stamp on it and then sharing it. That to me seems cool, and I can very easily imagine how awesome that would be.
