Ask HN: Review hyperlocal Q&A site askaro.com

4 points by ubaldo 16y ago ↗ HN

I'm seeking feedback on my new startup www.askaro.com. It'a localized Q&A site, that is, questions are geolocated. Answers could include geo information as well. There is a reputation system similar to SO. I think of the site as a hyperlocal community resource, as oppose to hyperlocal news. Still in development, trying to get to "market fitness".<p>Runs on GAE, written in python.<p>Thanks

Nice, I like it -- cool idea, good design, and straightforward UI.

Although it seems you might have some competition in sites like yelp...

Thanks. I'm not sure which direction the site will take. Hopefully not restaurant reviews but I can't really control it.

I'm also focused on the reputation system and the Q&A model as oppose to filling a database with restaurant et al candidates for review.
