ChilledLime - A new way to ask decidable questions and crowdsource opinions
- andmarios 14y agoTheir usage example is terrible. It makes you focus to its subject (android vs iphone) instead of their platform. They should replace it with a question that most visitors are neutral and/or not too interested to.
- tarr11 14y agoI disagree. Most people don't care about the platform, they care about the content.
- bennyg 14y agoNot a fan of the logo, it looks very amateur. I hope it changes before this launches.
- taofu 14y agoDo fix your domain.
- akos 14y ago--I am the founder-- Thanks Karika for submitting! Looking forward to the thoughts of the HN community here!
- kybernetikos 14y agoI like the concept. Can you say what you mean by 'decidable'? I had assumed that you meant something that could eventually be empirically determined, but your example makes clear that that is not what you mean.
- akos 14y agoThanks! Yes, I meant something very close to your description. Although, I also think, that this experiment with a question that is very timely (in this case: the fight of mobile phones), failed, because it fails to communicate the real value of this platform. The value of getting opinions or (sometimes) feedback on your own thoughts and decisions!
- glomph 14y agoI guess it just means ones that people can answer for themselves in this context? Almost the opposite of what it usually means.
- akos 14y agoYeah they could answer them by themselfs. We are making ChilledLime to help people who can't decide on their own! (Here is the scenario: You are at a sports store and you see 3 sneakers you really like but not sure which one you want so. - You pop open your "ChilledLime" app (it sorta looks like instagram) - You pick number of sides to your discussion (In this case 3) - You can simply add the sneakers and then post - You can also select the camera icon So you take lets say 3 consecutive shots each for the sneakers. Then you wait for opinions of the ChilledLime community. )
- toddmorey 14y agoI guess I'm late to this? It hits the sorry page and then redirects to another project.
- akos 14y agoGot some hijackers who want to get the traffic for themselfs. UPDATE: Fixed it. Got rid of the hackers!
- jmcdonald-ut 14y agoI think it looks cool, but also seems like it has potential for conversations to quickly degrade to nothing useful. - What are the plans to maintain relevant, and insightful conversations? - I may be missing something, but how is this different than something like Quora? I do like the striped colors at the top representing what items have been voted for. Overall this looks cool. Good work!
- akos 14y agoThanks for the kind words and the suggestions! Well, yes.. today after somebody posted this to HN, the unregistered unknown internet surfers some spam opinions too. But I think, when we launch the registeration recquired site, the ratio of spam and unuseful opinions and comments will drop. Quora is knowledge based, ChilledLime is opinion based. Delivering the same, or better knowledge in a more democratic way.
- generalpf 14y ago"ChilledLime" takes site-name-doesn't-match-site-purpose to a new level. Sorry, cherry.com.
- akos 14y agoJust a random and juicey name that I love ;)
