The main page shouldn't be login-walled. I don't want to create an account just to find out what kind of content this community has and how active it is.
Fair. I removed login requirements for browsing. You should be able to see all posts here: https://non.io/#all As a disclaimer, this is truly me just launching today, there's only 4 posts currently.
A couple thoughts after trying to submit a post (on firefox): - no way to post a link/URL? But I can upload an html file? Am I supposed to make the URL the description of the post? - "audio" does not appear to have a file upload button (probably a bug) - the text submission box sometimes does that glitchy thing some javascript'd text boxes do where everything I type comes out backwards until a refresh Seems like a co…
Post creation should be working now on free accounts. Thank you for the detailed reports of issues you faced!
I really like the subtle animations in the UI. What do you use for the front-end/back-end tech stack?
Backend is in go.

Make the API compatible with Reddit's and you'll have a bunch of third-party clients starting on day one!
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?
I feel like having people get paid for upvotes is going to create a massive amount of bad incentives.
A post getting 1000 upvotes earns $4. That's already quite a lot of upvotes, enough to get on the first page of a reasonably big sub. Posts on r/all (today, which may be abnormal) are at 10-50k, so would earn $40-$200.
$200 would be nice to have! But these don't seem like prizes that would motivate residents of first-world countries, considering that you have to have one of the most-upvoted posts on the whole site to win them.
Congrats on the hard work, and the idea is fine, but the problem is that tech like this is a cheap commodity in a massively oversaturated space, and 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 e…
Mostly agree. The screenshot in the top right looks good, like professional app I might actually use. But I want to actually browse the site and check it out without first slogging through a registration process. If it’s free to view/browse anyway, then enable doing that without registering. Register and pay if you want to post. Edit: You can browse without registering after all, here’s the link: https://non.io/#all…
You say that you've been working on this for 4 years, but there's no content here. Have you not been using it yourself for 4 years? Where is the content that you and your friends have been posting?
I wasn't able to register initially due to some password strength requirements that aren't written anywhere, and got errors without an explanation of why. Generally I would have bailed at this point but wanted to give your project a look. Good luck, I think it's a cool idea.
No information in the error feedback, just a red X.
As a side note, I'm tired of websites deciding that a password is not strong enough simply because it does not contain enough random subsclasses of basic ACSII characters.
Go and talk to your potential customers and I hope the App.net story gives you some inspiration.
On the landing page: "$2/mo min." is confusing, is it talking about minutes? consider "just $2/mo" or "from just $2/mo"
