Wow - it sounds so simple. Will read more about this (hopefully on the Instacart blog if it exists there!)

Really cool stuff.

Had mixed results.

I've felt like "group reasoning" in person is more like getting people on the same page to execute on an idea, which doesn't equate with the merit of that idea.

Once that discussion kicks off in a large-ish group, I've found it hard to pivot the direction of that conversation - if you think there's a better, independent solution that's not aligned with the group train of thought.

I don't right now - but now that you mentioned it, I'll definitely create one. Will ping you here once it's ready.

I'll be tweaking that shortly! Just released that feature last night before I went to bed haha

That's a clever idea - thank you!

Agree with your take too. In fact, part of the reason I elected for anonymity & account-free comments was to lower that barrier.

Strong possibility - I'm sure there's a way to create a system as an extension of the current one to mitigate this issue though.

Hey HN! - here's the rundown:

- You can find out what people say about any topic, based on the comments they've left on the tool.

- No account needed. Searches and comments are anonymous.

- You might enjoy seeing the many comments and searches that people have done in just the past two days.

- Right now, profanity is censored. This is part of mitigating initial toxicity. I'm implementing accounts soon, so you can toggle off this filter on your own accord.

- This tool is a work in progress, but I am improving things dramatically each day. If it's not up-to-par for you right now, definitely check it out later!

Thanks :)

Hi HN,

Thought this would be a fun social experiment to start with this community.

- You can search for words, phrases, urls, etc (anything text-based), each of which has a unique record that's created the first time a user searches for it. (No scraping with this currently.)

- You can make comments freely on topics without an account anonymously.

That being said - I'll require accounts to make comments if the quality of content diverges.

Anyway, let me know what you think / if you wanna see anything from this. Thanks!
