#2This is a neat idea, though the quality of questions is terrible. Would probably be a good way to garner a decent amount of followers if you spent 20 minutes answering a ton of questions. Not very clear on how to 'ask' questions though..

Hey John, thanks for your comment. I'm working on the questions at the minute - I agree, it's tricky to filter out what are/aren't questions, so that's something that I'll develop to be a little more sophisticated for a future version.
I suppose the purpose of the app was solely to answer questions, really; I didn't even think about the "asking" side - again, something that I think the app could benefit from in the next version.
Thanks again John, really appreciate your feedback :)

#4I 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!

#7The quality of questions is the main problem, yes. May be they can be upvoted or downvoted, so they would appear more or less frequently?

Or you could pick up questions for existing popular tags. #stackoverflow might be one of them.

It's official. Version 2.0 demands Vine integration.

This is a great concept - giving each question a score and allowing it to gain/lose exposure based on it, similar to HN/Reddit.
