The main page shouldn't be login-walled. I don't want to create an account just to find out what kind of content this community has and how active it is.


Fair. I removed login requirements for browsing. You should be able to see all posts here: https://non.io/#all

As a disclaimer, this is truly me just launching today, there's only 4 posts currently.


I just went to http://non.io and see something that is/looks like an ad "a platform for supporting creators", and some documentation/sales pitch, rather than content. This is not remotely like reddit.com, or hacker news. Why don't I see content?

This is a very bad user experience, for a main page to go directly to, what should be, http://non.io/about. Don't give me a long pamphlet explaining mundane details that I can't comprehend who would care about, let me see what it actually is, and test drive it, without having to know/type some magic url.

I suggest sitting someone new down, who isn't excited to be there, and have them type http://non.io, and carefully observe what happens.


People want to see the UI, doesn't matter how few posts there are.

The content will come later; most of the Reddit alternatives I've looked at look godawful, yours is the only one I've liked. So many people get the compact and minimal comments look wrong.


Appreciate the kind words! I put a lot of sweat into the design details, so that really means a lot to me.


Maybe you should automatically cross post top posts from your favorite reddit subs and maybe HN... Just to have a bit of content
