Ask HN: Open-ended-questions.org — like StackExchange, but for open questions
Dear Hacker News,
I'm thinking about building StackExchange.com for open-ended
questions. Do you think it's a good idea? I have two questions:
But first:
1. There would be subdomains that corresponded to StackExchange
subdomains, e.g.: programmers.open-ended-questions.org and
writers.open-ended-questions.org. So if you wanted to ask an
open-ended question, or start a discussion, you could visit
*.open-ended-questions.org instead.
2. I've mostly built a hopefully better discussion system already,
as part of a failed one-person startup, see http://www.debiki.com/-84472
Now, the questions:
1. Do you think open-ended-questions.org is a good idea? Would you
use it sometimes, or perhaps people would use ... Reddit? instead?
2. Would anyone like to help out in some manner somehow? :-) For
example, helping promoting the site(s), or advising about how it
should be promoted? And/or suggesting features and things to add
and amend.
- beiburg 13y agoI hate the circle-jerk of Askreddit. I think it is a great idea and will help as much as I can.
- KajMagnus 13y agoOkay, I'm glad you're interested. By the way I wonder if a reputation system necessarily contributes to a circle-jerk, I mean a culture that tends to make everyone think in the same way, so that they'll get more upvotes.
