Questhub - share your quests
- mburns 13y agoThese don't seem to make use of http://openbadges.org/ http://openbadges.org/ unfortunately.
- berekuk 13y agoFounder here. Panicking, because I'm SO not ready for HN traffic! (Not technically, but product-wise.) We probably will use openbadges - https://github.com/berekuk/questhub/issues/40 https://github.com/berekuk/questhub/issues/40. But they are not implemented yet.
- pearjuice 13y ago>not ready for HN traffic! >product-wise Are you implying you released a half-baked product? Nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't wrap it up like that!
- berekuk 13y agoNo, I'm just saying that HN traffic is a rare opportunity, and I know Questhub onboarding experience sucks, so most of these visitors will be lost. With that being said, of course there are lots of plans for improvements (most of them listed in Meta realm), but people, mostly from Perl community, used it successfully for a few months.
- ellie42 13y agoI'm not happy with your service and want to delete my account. Come on, at least give me option to unlink/hide my twitter, and change my username!
- sanderjd 13y agoI thought the on-boarding was rather pleasant! Keep up the good work! I expected to be able to attempt other peoples' quests, but I don't seem to be able to. Is that outside your scope, just not implemented yet, or am I simply missing it?
- berekuk 13y agoThank you! If quest is based on a stencil, you can take the same stencil for yourself. Otherwise, it's a feature called "Cloning", and it's not implemented yet: http://questhub.io/realm/meta/quest/51f7ab8688a70b5f74000046 http://questhub.io/realm/meta/quest/51f7ab8688a70b5f74000046
- sanderjd 13y agoAbout 10 minutes after I posted this, you commented on one of my Quests and ended up turning it into a stencil, thus answering my question before I got back here to read your actual answer! It's a neat idea, I'll have to check out the meta-quests.
- dirkk0 13y agoSorry, my fault. cool @openbadges.
- ktusznio 13y agoTechnical nitpick: your front-end code blocks on mixpanel, and terminates if mixpanel doesn't respond. Usin noscript and blocking mixpanel, I don't get to see any content on your page.
- berekuk 13y agoThanks, I'll check this.
- talles 13y agolol @ the 'flying spaghetti monster' on Chaos realm
- nine_k 13y agoOne of the most apt icons on the whole service, to my mind.
- RexM 13y agoThe rewards on these quests, suck. I'm going to skip them and just go power level through some dungeons.
- AznHisoka 13y agoWhy does Perl get its own category?
- berekuk 13y agoThis service was originally Perl-specific, before I decided to expand on the idea, leave my job and work on it full-time. I'm always looking for new communities, but it's meaningless to create empty placeholders for each other language and expect that people would come, we need some amount of initial content first. If you want to help me start a new realm, either with ideas for stencils and quests, or with how to bring a group of people to it, please let me know. (My email is me@berekuk.ru.)
- nine_k 13y agoFull time? Man, you have balls 8-)
- AznHisoka 13y agoSince you're doing it full-time, how do you plan to generate revenue from it?
- berekuk 13y agoThere are many possible paths I can take, but the one I'm considering the most at this point is freemium with private/protected quests or realms being a paid feature.
- scep12 13y ago> Basically, Questhub is your free public task tracker. This copy really bothers me. Drop the "basically" - it's totally superfluous and a bit amateur.
- scep12 13y agoOkay, never mind. I read more: > The more interesting is your quest, the people will upvote it, and the more points you will get. Okay, yoda. Maybe get some (serious) proofreading or ask a friend to write your copy. I don't care how good your app is, the homepage is a joke.
- berekuk 13y agoFair enough, thanks. English is not my native language, but I should've paid more attention. I fixed the most obvious mistakes and I'll try to find a native speaker to do a real rewrite.
- mentat 13y agoI'd be willing to help edit or write (probably better at editing...)
- elliottcarlson 13y agoThere are better ways to get this point across - while your opinion might be right, it does not warrant being impolite.
- gavinpc 13y ago> "basically" - it's totally superfluous Totally.
