How did we do? "We help people quickly make decisions between competing options."
- agilebyte 13y agoStock options? Or just options in general? So is it like a friend giving you advice?
- StuieK 13y agoWe're trying to build a site that gives people the information they need to decide between different products/services/options. For example: http://www.slant.co/topics/697/~what-is-the-best-cross-platform-note-taking-tool http://www.slant.co/topics/697/~what-is-the-best-cross-platf...
- agilebyte 13y agoSo you are writing new reviews for each product in a "viewpoint" kind of way? I am thinking about Metacritic and how they evaluate someone else's review but still link to it.
- StuieK 13y agoIt's actually all crowdsourced. Anyone can add new Viewpoints, improve existing ones etc. Reviews typically go out of date very rapidly so we're building something that can be constantly updated/improved. I guess the UI has a long way to go before it's obvious how it all works. For example here is a pretty great rundown of CSS pre-processors (http://www.slant.co/topics/217/viewpoints/1/~best-css-preprocessor~stylus http://www.slant.co/topics/217/viewpoints/1/~best-css-prepro...). You can click through to see discussions, previous edits etc. (please ignore the lack of data in the bar charts on the "summary page", it's a brand new feature) (also, I did a little stalking, you will like our stack: node, backbone, coffeescript, stylus. All single-page as well :)
- agilebyte 13y agoOK thank you. Actually, the Suggested Edits interface is quite good. Maybe one could also comment on the edit they have just made ala git. A good stack to have :). What are you using for server routing and the `package.js` compilation?
- StuieK 13y agoWe also do a pretty good job with all the closed SO questions.
