> everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month Does that include comments that are upvoted? I mean, in some cases the submission itself is just a question and all the value is in the contribution from the users in the comments.

No, comments are outside the contribution model.

I have some early designs that show a user setting that lets you allocate a % split between comments and posts, but for now I wanted to preserve the simplicity of the model.

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…

The hook is called „Reddit becoming more ans more aggressive with monetisation”

Its really enough for ppl to start looking for alternatives.

I 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!

Well there's a name I wasn't expecting to see sign up for my side project.

And yea, password managers right now aren't working great with the webcomponent inputs. Thank you for the report!

I like the idea, but it's almost like your sales model and distribution model is conflicting with itself. You realize how important the content creators/submitters are to the platform so you agree to split money with them, but you also are charging them to use the platform.

If anything the most valuable members are the contributors. Stats on this very, but something like 1% of users ever make a submission, and only 10% or so comment.

- test login doesn't work

- loginless browsing drops user into New which is full of garbage

- when I click popular, I still don't see any interesting content.

:-| - i think you have a chicken and egg problem. Why pay to post somewhere without readers? why read when there isn't any interesting content?

I love trying new sites! I'll reserve judgement until it has more content, but it looks pretty so far. :)

Congrats on the launch! How do you handle reposts and low effort content with this business model? I.e. what prevents me from repackaging popular content from elsewhere and farming votes?

votes aren't free. why would i upvote the low effort?
