    I'd be interested in that as well. Trying to build something that's geared heavily toward developmental/structural editing, and connecting freelancers with writers. Could I send yo…

    Ask HN: How do you address users in website copy (and does it matter)?

    "View your posts." "Go to my profile." "Login to your account." "See my stats." Et cetera. Is there an unspoken rule on being consistent when addressing website users in either the…

    What sort of traffic (ballpark numbers) do you get there?

    And a follow-up to that: have you ever, or would you ever consider, paying for feedback/editing services on a post you write? Would the ROI be worth it for you (in particular, for …

    Ask HN: How much of a concern are bots for a smallish community app?

    I'm building a small app with community and social features. Most of the features require an email/password signin, and I'm wondering how much of an issue bots are? It'd be easy fo…
