Reminds me of retroshare, which is fully peer to peer and anonymizing. Anyone here try it before? Meant for closed communities and not open/global so a different niche I suppose

I swear, the current protests have shined a very odd light on the average commenting Redditor, they want * The website to be free * The API to be cheap * The ability to use a 3rd party app that does not track, advertise, or monetize you in any way * VCs to continue to pour hundreds of millions of dollars to run the site and never ask for an ROI Good luck kids
I guess they want Usenet.

#123I just created a new account using the free tier, and then afterwards decided I would like to play. I went to my profile, clicked on "view financials", but when I press "Change Subscription Amount" the page just freezes. Why won't you let me give you my money? Having a look in the console... Every time I press the "Change Subscription Amount" button there is a 500 API error from https://api.non.io/stripe/subscription…
I also tried paying at this link

I entered my card details, and now it is stuck on a loading system where the "Subscribe" button used to be

#124Mobile web needs to be addressed…
100%. I'm still working on it. I announced today without it purely because of what's happening with Reddit. Mobile designs are here: https://www.figma.com/file/DStwulDd9Vd3TLjrMuxZ9y/nonio-desi...
Probs will be another month before I get the branch merged however.

#125You're asking me to sign up before I can even see what I'm signing up for. Let me look at the content first.

#126I signed up, but immediately lost my password because the password manager didn't save it. Your signup password field doesn't seem to play nice with password managers. Just thought you should know!
Apparently me too. Hopefully the cookie expiration isn't short :)

The 3rd party app issue, and most of the API problem consequently, wouldn't be such a big issue if they didn't take forever to release the official app, only to put out an awful one when they finally did. You don't see many people using 3rd party apps for other social media.

Partly it's because Reddit is in an antagonistic relationship with its users. People want a good message board. A good message board doesn't make for very good advertisements. What do you advertise on /r/ChangeMyView ?
Partly it's because Reddit has squandered its users' goodwill. I'd be willing to pay for Reddit if it was clear Reddit was going to work in my favor. Since right now it's doing its best to run off the mobile app I'm using, why on earth would I do that?

#129I've spent enough time [Edit: on HN] to remember App.net¹ which was launched with similar fanfare but was shut down after few painful years of trying to find a PMF. The lesson I learned from that saga was HN might not be the best place to validate your product. We're too smart to diss even good ideas like DropBox. Go and talk to your potential customers and I hope the App.net story gives you some inspiration. 1: http…
"PMF"?
product-market fit
