We want to see more enthusiasm from you when you open the app for the first time (and not just because we have to show you some legal stuff as well). Messages play more nicely when they're from the same person. And if you don't like that person, you can block them. Finally, those pesky alert dialog boxes have been removed, what were we thinking?

  • Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
