Hi there. I'm curious, what would you have as the #1 result in such a subjective topic, and why?

"Discuss in groups?" I'm not following. Can you elaborate? You can also upvote Rust if don't agree. Thank you for your feedback.

Playful privacy guy... is now not so playful. Thanks again.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to keep pushing.

Thank you for giving us a shot, and for your feedback. We still have a ton of work to do, and this is just our initial test to see if the product resonates with people. Also, https://www.jcrew.com/mens XD

We were hoping that the voting system would allow for user based manual refinement. We'll see. I'm not sure the users will be that invested.

Hey, I appreciate your tough criticism very much. This is the exact reason I wanted to post here on HN. If you would, I'd like to get your contact info so I can reach back out when we've improved things. If you're up for it,

We don't plan on sharing any info. Our ads would be more inline with DDG's, and based only on the user query.

by switchstance 4y ago
Can you share your search query? Thank you!
42.
by switchstance 4y ago
There are a lot of factors that go into our search algorithm, but in brief, we crawl the web, check various sources for ratings, and we also do sentiment analysis when possible. We're just getting started, and will refine it over time,

by switchstance 4y ago
Agreed. We'll be stripping those out asap.
44.
by switchstance 4y ago
Hah. We're not too concerned about monetizing it right now, but our initial thought is to show tasteful ads based on the user's query.

by switchstance 4y ago
Thank you so much for your feedback! Some people like the playful graphics, others not so much. Oh, and we just hardcoded some popular recommended searches in the search field.

It looks like some terms have slipped through, which we learned about only because of user searches. XD "best boobs" "best hentai"

by switchstance 4y ago
Yeah, I figured we'd lose a lot of people there, but what can you do? Maybe we'll add it in the future when we have some kind of "safe search" option.

I should also mention that very niche subjects that are not discussed often don't yield the best results.

Why wouldn’t they remove it? It’s in their best interest to send you to an alternative page where they can show you advertisements.

Exactly. When I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I like to envision zooming out of myself on Earth to our solar system and beyond to remind myself of how small I am, along with my stressors.

The green can be very helpful during video productions where screen replacement is needed in post production. Though, it’d be even more helpful to not only be green, but to have tracking markers as well.

It sounds like you need to read or reread Walter Isaacson's biography on Steve. Sure he was an asshole, but there is still a lot to be learned from the man.

Are you in the market to buy a startup? My guess is that most people wanting to legitimately buy a business will have a LinkedIn account. I’m curious how you’d vet users if you were running the platform.

Here’s a good interview with the founder. https://mixergy.com/interviews/microacquire-with-andrew-gazd...

When you ask a company a question via MA, they can look at your LinkedIn account before turning over any info.
