This is cool, but seems ripe for abuse. Do you have a plan to deal with that?

Yeah, I had a question around how to stop people from claiming "legit" brands and bashing them? I could easily see someone take a brand like Uber or Airbnb and start creating content that could get the actual brand in legit trouble. Cool concept though! I like the simplicity.

Good question and it's definitely a concern. For now, I'm just monitoring things manually, but certainly would need a more scalable system if the site grows.

Awesome! As long as you're monitoring it. Keep this going!

+1 .. Markdown would be awesome!

Good idea! Currently it supports some HTML elements using Rails' simple_format ( , , etc), but Markdown would definitely be an improvement.

oo! Good to know it supports HTML elements. Might be worth adding this into the FAQ!

Not really related, but I just browsed through all the projects on http://unfoundedlabs.com/ and really enjoyed it. You have a unique voice and an artists sensibilities which will now serve as an inspiration to me.

I'd consider removing support.

Or worse like paste in, Bitcoin and other public places people will post urls to terrible/illegal things on the internet. People always find a way to ruin the public commons.
