I like these projects because it helps break the often-overlooked centralization of civil conversation. However, it requires knowledge most of your target audience wouldn't have i.e. Database, Handling Spam, moderating etc.
As much as centralizing conversations get under my skin, the strength in these products is the ease-of-implementation.
You plan on rolling this out into a full product or is this more a project for the OS community to snowball?
Imagine if every time someone wrote a comment on Facebook, Instagram they had to answer a simple math question before it's posted. A lot less online bullying will happen and the poster's mind will be sharpened.
With the lack of linked content in HN profiles, you're 100% sure the person who visits any given link you have via the Right Click or Copy/Paste is a meaningful connection that has gone out of their way.
My suggestion - Build a Chrome plugin to scrape the page to discover content that passes a link litmus and programatically link it on the fly.
I'll hit you via email because your response brought to mind other things we're curious about. Thanks for taking the time to answer dsacco
