Interesting idea - just a thought, I'd want to see pictures of the homes/kitchens before signing up.


That is what I thought, and the reason 1.0 was basically a photo sharing app. When you click on a Host's profile, you'll see their most recent photo with the ability to dig deeper into all of their photos. For some users that is only a handful but others are up to 100+ photos.


agreed and sharing the code ensures that others with more devious ambitions will pretty much ruin this experiment.


"I was doing an experiment to find out what would happen if I had a leave a dollar take a dollar jar in an alley, but then some jerk took all the money and ruined the experiment."

1. If the experiment initiator here didn't see something like this coming (someone taking advantage of a free pot of money), he is naive beyond belief.

2. An experiment not turning out how you DESIRE it to does not mean it's "ruined;" to the contrary, it's how learning happens. "Oh, I didn't know that would happen!" takes notes <- Science


The point system seems too opinionated for me. For example not all devs have to use hackernews to be good, but its required to get a higher score. Also what happens when you hit 100? Is there really a perfect score?

The workforpie logo also makes me think im slaving away at tasks just to get a higher score.
