The basic goal of the site is to have a place where people can create content that would otherwise be deleted by Wikipedia; no concerns about notoriety and no pressure to expand articles. I don't really have any plans to impose any rules on the site, for now I want to focus on collecting the long-tail of articles that doesn’t exist on the web.

There is also a micro-blogging component to the site. Depending on the context attached to the article a series of buttons appear on the article page(By default just "Love" & "Hate", I left out selecting contexts for simplicity and data quality concerns), clicking on them creates a post on your profile: http://www.stubia.com/@abe

Let me know if you find that other link, I would be interested in taking a look at it.


Capturing knowledge that doesn't fit Wikipedia is one of my goals as well.

My hunch is that because such topics may be more obscure, a little more space/context, and some new modes of search/display, will prove helpful for readers/contributors.


What you're searching for does not exist yet; The edit/create page currently requires authentication. I'll fix this right away.


The site now allows anonymous posting.


Who cares? Teenagers don't have money.

Q: How do you Start a Successful Bootstrapped Web App Business?

A: Don't spend 12 hours listening to podcasts.


As someone seriously considering giving this a go (our consulting business is about to complete it's first year, we have built up a good war chest in the bank without any investment, and we're planning our web app right now), I would be foolish not to listen to the advice and experience (with a grain of salt) of those who have come before me and succeeded. Anything that helps me avoid mistakes that others have figured out is a good thing.

The comment above - while maybe tongue in cheek - is short-sighted to say the least.

Thanks for putting these together!


I don't think it was short-sighted. I think his point, while partly intended to be funny, of course, was that spending 12 hours to inject a certain amount of information is inefficient if the same substance could have been gleaned much more quickly in the form of concise, curated chunks of text.


On the other had, you don't have to listen to the podcasts in one session or one day.


And really with the amount of time you will be spending building your startup, 12 hours is nothing. :-)


For some work that requires light attention, having a startup podcast going in the background can be very inspiring.


Unless you spend a lot of time in the car! :) I listen to 1 hour of audio each day whilst driving. This will be ideal now that I'm about to finish one of the Warren Buffet audio books


No.

A: Don't be pessimistic and also, be analytical enough to understand that listening to audio doesn't necessarily distract you from creating great things.


I believe it was satire. :)


I see the digg crowd finally came to HN ;)

OS X's biggest downside is the same core problem of the Windows interface: having icons, menus and windows bolted on to a desktop is incredibly inelegant, redundant and wasteful of screen space.


How does that make any sense whatsoever as a response to the OP?


Linux distributions can get all the face lifts in the world, but at the end of the day they were not designed to be cute and accessible.
