My point is that I think you are free to make money. If you can do it without compromising your sense of quality you will go very far.
Well, not necessarily tags, but I want to dive deeper in some things. You should allow that.
I like the idea of having a web page that's the opposite of sites that make me email some jackass to get a price. These are all buyable things, RIGHT NOW.
You should have a giant page of SBCs. And UAVs. And 3d printing things. And useful software. Free or otherwise! I think the iphone game Trainyard might appeal to hackers, for example...
I'm gonna order the panograph tomorrow, I think...
Good idea. I think you've got a good idea of what I'm trying to add to the site (especially with the SBCs and UAVs). Adding individual pages based on interest would be a major improvement. Apps is another great idea.
I'm considering the idea of cutting deals with retailers (or even manufacturers) if the site reaches critical mass. I mean, I'm not averse to making money. I just hadn't planned on it.
Doing some machine learning for the ranking would be a load of fun. If you have any ideas or want to help out with that I'd be glad to accept!
Of course you want tags. ;) I definitely agree though. There needs to be labeling or at the very least some sort of categorization.
Thanks for the feedback!
