I went looking for something that existed when I first set out, and I didn't come across this - thanks for the pointer.

#24I also liked the idea. One way to ask questions would be using a hashtag (#screech?). So questions that use the hash would have a better chance of being selected. It would be nice if you could choose some keywords to filter the questions in your area of expertise.
It's so strange that you say that - I actually initially coded it with this exact idea in mind! The only reason I pivoted to regex queries was that in its initial stage, I would have no questions to serve up - but I think #screech is subtle enough to be integrated when the userbase is there! Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
You should also take a look at youasked.it. They're very similar. I think giving the user a chance to filter questions by topic is a very key feature that is missing right now from your implementation.
