#2Hey HN! - here's the rundown:
- You can find out what people say about any topic, based on the comments they've left on the tool.
- No account needed. Searches and comments are anonymous.
- You might enjoy seeing the many comments and searches that people have done in just the past two days.
- Right now, profanity is censored. This is part of mitigating initial toxicity. I'm implementing accounts soon, so you can toggle off this filter on your own accord.
- This tool is a work in progress, but I am improving things dramatically each day. If it's not up-to-par for you right now, definitely check it out later!
Thanks :)

#5I am confused. Does it only capture comments created on the tool, or it captures comments from anywhere on the internet?

Strictly the tool for now.

Got it. I see a classic launch problem coming your way. How do you attract the first set of content creators, when there aren't any content consumers? Have you given this a thought?

#8Do you have a video in which you have a run-through on how to use this tool?

#9Explore comments people made is not related to my search that has no comments. Takes a while to figure it out.
Anyway, really cool idea. It’s Yahoo! with the power of the crowds.

#10Great idea, and quality implementation!
I think the main thing you are missing right now is some seed content.
If I were you, I would start going through each recent search query and adding some content, even a sentence or two.
People are already searching, and you're doing a great job exposing this, now there just needs to be some results, and first-visitors may not be interested in doing the work for it.
I think you're on the right track, and your project has great potential!
