Great points and thanks for the encouragement.

Certainly the internet would be a lot better if larger tech platforms were more responsive to the feedback of their users, but you're right that there are entrenched interests that might work against that. We do plan on opening the platform up so that the public can report issues directly to morehumaninternet.org even for websites who have not signed up. At that point, if many other websites are having success in engaging directly with the public and if there's enough demand for certain issues to be looked at, maybe those larger platforms will see that it's in their best interest to respond.

As for integration with Github issues, I definitely like the idea of having the platform feel like a universal way of feeding feedback to site owners, but of course those site owners may use any number of tools internally to track issues (Github issues, JIRA, Trello, etc.) so we'll want to integrate with those platforms. We are planning on allowing users to upvote other users' issues to make it easier for site owners to know which issues are higher priority. To support that, we'll need a publicly accessible link to the issue at morehumaninternet.org but that same issue can be kept in sync with a corresponding card/issue/ticket in some other system.
