I love the idea and it stimulated a few more ideas:
1. For a site with many people active on it, what if you could filter by the link / website that brought them there (eg, there's a popular wikipedia page or article, but somebody might rather talk to the people who came from newsletter or forum X as opposed to newsletter Y)
2. What if you could see where people had been over time? Have a page develop wear over time showcasing the hot spots
Well done! I've been planning to build something like this for a while but never had the time.
How are you planning to scale it? How are you going to acquire a critical mass of users?
Cool ext. Two critical notes:
- edit or delete note
- long text looks like 'text bla-bl...'
Congrats on shipping. Looks pretty great! A few years ago I was chatting with a friend of mine about a similar idea. I remember there were a lot of discussions around content moderation and biased nature of comments section of certain news websites around that time. The idea was to come up with a decentralized way to maintain comments indexed by the urls and anyone with a certain chrome extension can participate in these comments section completely unmoderated by the site owners.
Eventually there ought to be some community moderation but the goal was to keep it unbiased. If your project takes off, first thing you will have to deal with is going to be spam.
