Jelly's First Week: An Outside-Looking-In Data Analysis

Re: Jelly's First Week: An Outside-Looking-In Data Analysis
#2I mentioned in a post that I submitted to HN yesterday [1] that Jelly's mission of relevant questions is somewhat flawed because Jelly insists on showing questions from strangers that are frequently very stupid. There's no incentive to help pure strangers with such questions. ("thank you cards" are not an incentive).
Also, Jelly has some baffling UX decisions that have led me to stop using the app (the biggest one is that it's impossible to delete questions/answers).

#3Best analysis I've seen so far on the platform. I have to admit: I like the platform, but many questions that are asked there don't get the serious thought they deserve. (There are also a TON of dumb questions on the site.)

#4Am I the only one thinking that the results are pretty bad (yeah I know, one week only). But, what I understand: no user engagement, bad questions, not enough answers.
Nice idea, but what this metrics says to me is: time to pivot.

#5I wish they will succeed. However, those knowledge database are always going to be hard as knowledge is a moving and asynchron entity. What I mean is that something that is true today may not always be true. Also, if a group learns something through jelly, that knowledge isn't propagated to all the the people using jelly which can lead to a lot of duplicates. I hope the moderating will be good. On the other hand, an iphone app can provide a lot of information and context about the question which might help Jelly show questions related to the place/time. Quite a hard problem indeed.

Unless they can somehow seed it with a bunch of images, get some decent answers and go from there. (Which is what they're going for eventually, I think.)

#8"All data was collected via my own Jelly account using publicly accessible (if undocumented) API endpoints"
Can someone explain how this was done?

#9I don't see the point of Jelly.
Limited format (image and a little text). No incentives to answer. As with most things people will spam and ask stupid questions.
As far as getting a question answered nothing beats Quora right now.

I like the idea of Jelly, and maybe this says more about my friends than anything else, but most of the questions I've gotten have been spam and garbage.
