The continuing tragedy of CSS
I really like this idea, and would love to subscribe when you’re ready!

I think many commenters have pointed out reasons why this model is not suited to widespread user adoption, but I just want to say that may not be a bad thing. Meme content moderation is not a big problem if your users are not the type to submit or upvote a lot of low effort memes in the first place. A paywall will
inherently limit your user growth, but if the users you get end up being people who are happy to create and support high quality content, that seems pretty ideal to me (unless you are looking for maximal growth, VC level returns, and/or an IPO).

If there’s a mailing list or other way to get notified when you’re ready to do a full launch, I’d love to sign up for that!
Is it part of fediverse?
Because we outlawed railroad strikes but didn't outlaw airline strikes.

Doesn't really prevent a strike though: it just makes it cost more. Here in Massachusetts it's illegal for public school teachers to strike, yet it has happened a couple times in the last year. In one case the teacher's union was fined: https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/02/08/woburn-teachers-turn...
Good lord, I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Congrats on the launch!

How do you handle reposts and low effort content with this business model?

I.e. what prevents me from repackaging popular content from elsewhere and farming votes?
UPS Management got one of the largest IPOs of the 90s, and have blundered and failed repeatedly at the promised international expansion. Meanwhile Amazon went ruthless, and other large package delivery companies were efficient. UPS is looking more like Detroit and less like New York City right now. Taking the difference out of the skins of workers is probably in line with the current strategy there.
> this kind of thing is dead in the water because it lacks a network effect

Which is why launching any social network is a dice roll. You need that initial momentum to propel it further, or some 'lucky break' to get it popular. Many social networks got popular accidentally, typically because some VIP joined the platform and everyone went to follow the VIP, increasing DAUs / MAUs which is the only metric social media networks care about.
I think it's fair to say most things are not black and white, or gray. They're some kind of high dimensional noise function with clusters and gradients of every possible shade.
Something I toyed with for comment quality was having a way to only show comments by people subscribed to the subreddit your viewing, to avoid brigading from other parts of the site, and sorting comments based on reactions, to be able to filter out 'funny' replies from insightful: https://github.com/kraftman/TenTags.io/blob/bc6f3046dda4815b...
Make it costly for creators to actually post something. They can recoup in upvotes. That's the proper incentive structure ... by posting you're imposing on other people actually, and their attention. If what you posted recoups and goes on to get you a lot of points, great! But if you posted crap, make that be costly.

In fact, make "upvotes" be zero-sum transfers from the user to another. They have a limited amount and their upvotes will mean something. If you have downvotes then I guess the person is willing to lose that amount, just so the other guy does also.

I'm personally a big fan of Linkding [1]. You have to self host it, which means all the data stays local. I like the minimalist approach to the UI and there is a browser extension and (community created) mobile app [2].

It is difficult to develop any asset heavy application as an independent developer. Pretty much period. You have to find a way to contract out assets, or you will drown.

Unless you mean the programming of 3d transformations and such. That is, of course, still hard. Most of the platforms have done a ton of that work for you, though.
I think this was an interesting point:

> That intuition is developed by following a platform’s development from its early stages. You have to have seen and experienced all the attempts and missteps along the way to know where the next logical step is. Waiting until a platform is mature and then starting to work on it then will let you skip all the messy parts in the middle, but also leave you with only answers to the “what” questions, not so much the “why” questions.

I definitely think there's a lot of truth in this, not just for the Vision Pro but for many (if not most) platforms/frameworks/what have you. This could be an entire blog post in itself.
Why did you not ask GP for an example, and instead declared it impossible, if you do not have the required statistics?

I would look for people who are already creators and want more sidegig. Say lots of creators are on Twitch who might want to have a paid community. Then they can organically grow in your space without starting from scratch.

As others said, make the frontpage a contentpage. See if you can seed some creators to post there.
Looks cool. Would like to try.

Too expensive to buy however.

Will wait for a substantial price reduction on later versions with bugs worked out ... hopefully in the magnitude of 2 / 3rds less before I'd even consider buying it.

Thats' about it.

This think tank says 1.2B:

https://www.zurich.com/en/media/magazine/2022/there-could-be...

Reasoning:

- 19 countries with the highest number of ecological threats are among the world’s 40 least peaceful countries including Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Chad, India and Pakistan.

- Over one billion people live in 31 countries where the country’s resilience is unlikely to sufficiently withstand the impact of ecological events by 2050, contributing to mass population displacement.

- Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa are the regions facing the largest number of ecological threats.

- 3.5 billion people could suffer from food insecurity by 2050; which is an increase of 1.5 billion people from today.

- The lack of resilience in countries covered in the ETR will lead to worsening food insecurity and competition over resources, increasing civil unrest and mass displacement, exposing developed countries to increased influxes of refugees.
It's called CCS in Europe all the same. No idea how many installations, but the point is you can have one at home.
> without a hook that makes the platform exceptional (innovative/clever/beautiful design, unique aggregation features, inherently interesting content, reimagined user/content/moderation dynamics etc etc), this kind of thing is dead in the water because it lacks a network effect

I think the ONLY value any of these these have is network effect. All those other things you listed are either irrelevant or come after the network effects kick in. The only other important thing is the visual/practical UX.
This question makes little sense, Algeria had been under french occupation since 1830. Before the 2 industrial revolutions, and before a lot of current democraties were established. Its situation then is a very bad predictor of an hypothetical situation now.

One thing is for sure, French occupation was very bad for the natives. There was a de facto segregation enforced. The French Algerians hoarded the riches (by possessing mist of the land), and Native Algerians didn't have voting rights or political power.

Often used was the justification by so-called "advances" that colons had brought. But the truth is most of the infrastructure built only benefited French Algerians, and despite claims of bringing "civilization", education and alphabetization rates in Algeria were extremely low.

Also regardless of the occupation, the extremely gruesome war hurt the country's economy deeply and traumatized all parties involved

Source: a documentary i viewed a while ago on the Algerian war, I can find the reference if someone wants it (In French)
I've been fortunate to set the pace, culture, and flow of information at my company from the bottom up. As both an engineer and an exec, I say it should be on a per-person basis, and that the manager shouldn't be the one setting the status quo.

I have a VP with whom I spontaneously meet or even go to eat with, cuz it works best for them. I have engineers who enjoy the pace and cadence of a regular sync to chat about anything and everything (or just major progress), and I have engineers who will just poke me if anything comes up. And they love it!

If you have to question the potential ramifications of this, it means you should look more carefully at your culture and who you're hiring (and perhaps yourself, to validate if your concerns are even justified).

It's all about what works best for you, so I believe a good manager will let their engineers set the pace -- I encourage everyone under me to do the same, and it's been phenomenal for our collective dev health and passion as my #1 focus... the progress and profit will come as byproducts.
As others have said, congratulations on what is clearly a lot of solid work and a very interesting bet about how to dodge some of the traps e.g. Reddit is in all this grief over.

And this is the kind of moment that projects like this get a chance: struggling incumbent, #1 on HN, this is a great moment!

My 2c is that I’d stay flexible on the revenue model, even if you’re pretty sure you don’t want to do adds there are a variety of interesting variations on the paid model, there’s kinda left field stuff like Brave’s BAT thing (probably worth emailing their people for a fun chat either way) and lots of Patreon-style stuff.

I’d really nail the simple-sounding but critical stuff (and you’re well on your way!) before I got too attached to a revenue strategy.
Do any 3P clients let you point their app to backends other than reddit.com? Or are you just saying it would be easy for app developers to quickly port their app to non.io?
Yeah, that's the big issue. There's no incentive to want to be a public unpaid moderator, except arguably bad ones. Someone wanting to run for power creates and runs some of the worst communities out there.

For better or worse, the best moderating schemes on a moderately large group is via a paid position. At least there a mod has a "boss" that you can hope to appeal to should they abuse their power. May not always work but it's more security than hoping an admin pays attention to a subreddit's drama.

You underestimate the amount of guns that would be made to meet the demand once all free and legal means are shutdown. Have you ever heard of a zip gun? Kids were making these from door bolts decades ago when they couldn't get their hands on a gun.
It's a strange concept, but interesting. You might need to ensure that the system is difficult to game, though.
Perhaps meta-moderation would work in this scenario? Randomly assign previous moderation choices (anonymizing the moderator) for users to rank. This could to identify moderators that are out of line. It could also lead to echo chambers though.
Sometimes I just leave people on read for a bit because I have more important things to be dealing with. This happens to me too sometimes with people leaving me on read,and I understand because there is almost always something more important than whatever someone is messaging about. If it were important, they would have told me explicitly or sent a meeting request.

I sincerely doubt everything you were asking this guy was very important, so perhaps you need to learn how to handle more of your own issues and ask more people for help other than that one guy. It is not that guy's job to do your job; it is your job to do your job.
I believe you. However, the current Dialyzer/Dialyxir experience bad enough that the creator of Elixir is working on an effort to specify an entirely different† gradual typing system for the language:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36282419

https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2022/10/05/my-future-with-elixi...

This strongly suggests that Dialyxir is not working as effectively for most users as e.g. Typescript or Mypy.

† I can imagine people quibbling with 'entirely different', but the proposed type system does have a new(ish) theoretical basis that's still the subject of active research.
> What real live human being actually wants a twitter feed from Doritos?

Somebody who really likes Doritos and wants to know about new flavors, get discounts, et cetera. I'm sure there are plenty of people who fall into that category. Maybe not 870k, but definitely not zero.
Is there a way to actually pay yet?
On the flip side, the fact that this is a crowded space means that there’s a demand for it. And this isn’t a Reddit clone, it has a business model which is pretty close to the best anyone could hope for in my opinion. In any case, I applaud any efforts that could unseat Reddit or make them reconsider their greedy hard line.

I encourage the creator of Non.io to identify the key shortcomings of Reddit and improve upon them. Don’t just try to clone Reddit beyond the basic image/link board, otherwise you’ll just be playing their game. Change the game. There is a Folding Ideas video on this topic which has some great insights with respect to YouTube: https://youtu.be/r3snVCRo_bI
I would buy this if it can replace my current monitor(s) for development/coding. Price is not issue for many people as long as it can do your daywork easier.
100% agree with everything said here.

My original plan was to pay for ~100 users accounts and seed the site with content for a proper launch. Given what's happening today though, it felt at least pertinent to show off the current state and get some feedback.

The balance between splash page on landing / landing on content is a hard one, but I think you're right. I am worried though that without conveying the initial business model, it'll be harder for users to understand that this isn't a direct reddit clone.
This is the kind of thing you don't have to worry about with 3rd party apps. Old Reddit was the best dumb pipe ever, I'll miss it.
Does anyone understand what it does to play different recordings on the same physical surface? Are they interlocking spirals and it has slightly different starting point? Curious what's allowing it to use the same space for different recordings without swapping out mini records between plays.

It turns out that mechanical ventilators weren't very helpful. They did more harm than good for many patients, and overuse was a factor in the unusually high infection fatality rate seen in New York during the first phase of the pandemic. Ironically, some patients walking around today probably survived only because there was a shortage of ventilators.

Probably you have the "Pro" version, which allows this.

The Home version does not.
Just look at the population figures for the areas of the globe that are projected to become uninhabitable. That's your baseline number and it by itself is over a billion people. Any additional extrapolation for political and social upheavals related to resource conflicts (regardless of how conservative your analysis might be) only add to that baseline.
Well, if there's money attached, it will be guaranteed to be constantly gamed and abused.
Hey, you responded better to that feedback than I probably would have!

I don't think Canada is particularly nationalistic compared to other countries. Many Canadian subsidiaries of US Corporations put a maple leaf on their logo to specifically distinguish it from the US company, for example McDonald's Canada has a maple leaf. But it's not universal, and it's probably more common to use the unaltered American logo (see Walmart Canada, Costco Canada, Whole Foods Canada, UHAUL Canada, etc). The purpose it serves is not really one of nationalism but similar to how Canadian companies use the .ca domain vs the .com domain.

As other commenters point out, you really can't compare how flag-obsessed Canadians are to Americans. Just driving across the boarder from Vancouver into Washington and you immediately see larger than life flags which are really uncommon here. And when you do see a Canadian flag it is often accompanied by an American one.
Same for me but with RIF.

RIF is reddit to me, if they stick to it and block API access I'll log on one last time to delete my account.
A lot of those words were explaining why they're excited to develop software for it.

It's not accidental at all that the first party apps suck. Any banner that says "it is better with our mobile app" should have a steaming pile of poo emoji next to it.

The whole point of the new reddit (and many other sites like Anandtech and Tony Ortega's blog) is to make you click on ads accidentally. Someday the world will wake up and realize this is not just annoying but it is good old fashioned fraud... but it will still take a while.

One advantage of a mobile app over a mobile web site is that you can use the accelerometer and other sensors to predict when somebody is going to click on something and you can trigger a layout shift and... oops!
It’s weird because people seem very motivated by imaginary internet points already. I think paying out money doesn’t actually improve anything beyond just brining in people who’s only incentive is a pay out.
I remember some mind blowing Minecraft demos that didn't look enterprise-y to me.
I don't read the engineering blogs of other companies as a routine matter, but a search engine will occasionally point to a post in such a blog.

The reason I don't is because those blogs only rarely actually talk about anything of interest to me. Usually, they're mostly marketing with a veneer of tech in them, or they tend to focus on things only of value to those who work with or at those companies, or they just talk about common engineering topics.

Very low-value stuff (in terms of what is valuable to me). I can put my time to better use.

I think using some form of super resolution by default is not necessarily a bad idea given other upscaling techniques were deployed before and this is not so different. There are definitely scenarios where you want to avoid this, but these are few and far between.
