No idea really. I wanted it mainly because in my office we have very high email volume, that it repels people automatically (Outlook "threading" sucks too).
That and, a lot of people feel shy replying/talking about things knowing it would be liked to them (eg higher-up devs).
Not sure how well it will fare in the real-world tho. If I find no one is using it will just pull the plug and keep it local for my office only.
- walterbell 12y agoYou could provide a presence indicator when someone connects from the same subnet, like joining an IRC channel. That way, people could leave a browser window until someone arrives. Try promoting the site on local communities where there is already a critical mass of people on the same subnets, e.g. http://blog.bloglocal.net/everyblock-alternatives/ http://blog.bloglocal.net/everyblock-alternatives/ Could be popular in other offices, but would need to be opensource.
- sn_master 12y agohmm yeah. An indicator can easily be done for any subnet you are in. Awesome idea, I'll do it in v2 !
- nucleardog 12y agoIt would be neat if the change subnet allowed you to jump up a little further. Having a board for the class C pretty much gets me... my office. Having a separate board for the /16 or even /8 would allow users a little more granularity on how their message is spread (local users, my ISP's users/regional users).
- sn_master 12y agoIt was in my original plan, but then I thought most users may find it confusing. Looking at it now, I guess I'll do it (I already have a change subnet option if you click on the Pi icon).
