Thanks. Community moderation is quite a nice concept. Slashdot has indeed implemented it quite intelligently.

Yes ... But if the software arch does not decouple the front-end and back-end, then there are essentially no APIs. An API approach is the best approach. Later it can always be opened to public.

How important is meeting new people on a discussion platform? How often do you like to follow/friend/private message interesting people you may find on a particular discussion?

lol .... yeah I guess I got too immersed in thinking about discussions only. :D

Yes. Another feature which is tough to design, such that it is not over annoying and yet solves the purpose. :)

While going through this discussion, I realized HN does not have any form of notification system. How important is notification for an effective discussion platform?

Effective moderation is always a pain. The biggest curse of moderation is the inability to keep everyone happy. However, it is a necessary evil, which can not be avoided as well. This point does give me an idea on how to handle the moderati

As said earlier, identities is quite important to many users. Quora has done it quite well. However, with the anonymous feature to ask question, I have seen a rapid degradation of the quality of questions coming on Quora. I am not the only

I have the exact same views. In one of the discussion on building the structure, I was amazed to find that people do not think in terms of API. As for me, I have always thought of having 3 different layers/servers independent of each o

I am not a big fan of peer to peer system, but will give it a look.

Food is an absolute must. Unfortunately, HN does not have that. :( BTW, what do you generally like in food discussions? Is it good pics of food dishes, or recipes or something else?

Helpful points here.. - Replies to multiple posts - Easy linking to last comment/post As about moot, lets see if that happens?

Point taken. We are already having thoughts on the automation of tagging, grouping or categorization of comments. However, before we start working on it, we are validating on how important or necessary this feature would be. What if, we spe

Completely agree. I had read this someplace, and I go by this statement. "A good design is something which takes care of both extreme users, and not just a center large portion." The user feature of a website should be such that,

Yes. HN or forums do have this advantage and it has solved the issue of troll to a large extent. Quora on the other hand, has this feature of being able to ask or answer questions as anonymous, and this has resulted in an avalanche of stupi

Have not really liked 4chan, but I will give it a re-look now. We are having a few things in mind. One of them being applying categories or tags to comments, along with the nested comments. We believe, each discussion essentially has multip

Absolutely. The original idea for a better discussion platform came after using fb group for 2.5 years and feeling the pain. We had started the Bangalore Startups group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/blrstartups/

What do you feel about anonymous user handle? Is it a must? Or discussion platform should not have anonymous users, as it leads to trolling.

That is an interesting point. It remains to be seen if two users are actually agreeing to the third person, or still continue to argue with their points

Yes, we like discourse to a great extent ... however, one problem which we always face is following thru the comments on HN or reddit .. once the comments cross 100 ... or even 50 Discourse does not solve that either ... Is that a problem f

Ask HN: We are looking to rethink discussion platforms. Your suggestions?

DMCA has often been used to suppress free-speech. It is high time, this rule is re-visited and some of the context is set right.

If you are planning to startup in future, would suggest you to join the startup. The payment is any ways good, and when you factor the taxes and all, your take home will hardly be any different. Plus, working on a startup will enable you to
