Ok - OP here.

Looks like we have at least 5 people interested. Someone might still point us at an existing community. In the meantime I created a slack channel and a forum.

HN does not seem to have a way to PM. Let me know how to invite you?

Best thing I could come up with is for people to send me their email to this throwaway account: 52txhw+21xn2yhez22ozgcdc@sharklasers.com

Perhaps a Google Form would be safer way to submit an email address.

> Since SharkLasers doesn't require account registration, anyone who knows the Inbox ID may have access to that inbox. So it's best to use a random address. To add protection, you can use the Alias Address feature. An Alias Address can only be know if the Inbox ID is known and you cannot use an Alias as an Inbox Id. The more hard-to-guess your Inbox ID is, the better your Alias will protect you.

I agree - Google Forms is a better idea. I only shared the randomized alias so we should be ok with the throwaway email as well.

Here is the Google Forms link: https://goo.gl/forms/uFackrq4AjrBOrmH2
