Awesome. A few things to think about: 1) Would it not be better to have one-topic per day as opposed to one link. With one topic, users can submit multiple links/sources. 2) Have you started to think about acquiring users? You definitely need to grab an email address and email the daily topic so we can get remember to come back. 3) Related to 2. I think when selecting links, topics, it is important to select something ultra-controversial/interesting if you want to sparkle discussion. |

1 & 3. I thought about this approach, but right now I like the idea of having one link, that way all discussion is centralized to the particular article at hand (and of course comments with links are allowed if someone would like to link to an outside resource). I have been trying to pick articles that have a strong thesis or present an idea that I feel would spark some discussion. I don't want to ignite any flamewars so I try to stay away from topics that are too controversial/not actually likely to produce useful insight (i.e. "Javascript Sucks Because X"). What are some topics you would recommend?
2. Collecting email addresses is definitely on my list of TODOs, right now I'm still roughing out the MVP.
