Ask HN: I Coded/Designed This Site In 5 Hours, Do You Think It Has a Future?

2 points by michaelabe ↗ HN
You can visit the site at anonymous.thrsti.com, I wanted to build a very simple tool for people to have full freedom of speech and post things fully anonymously (we save server logs for now, I will change it this week though). Please tell me what you think and if this could become a full on product if I add cool features on top of it.

Thank you.

Can you give a use case for this?

It seems to me that after posting something anonymously, you would want to link to it from another part of the internet (e.g. forums, twitter, etc.), in which case it would no longer be anonymous.

Maybe it would be useful if people could vote posts up/down, but then it would really just be another online community.

I guess I was the first to post but I think there is something to this if you can come up with something really unique about how people interact albeit anonymously. Like in Japan their social networks are 95% anonymous, their might be some ideas their with how they interact

Thank you for the feedback. Ive launched this couple of hours ago and were already getting a good amount of posts and hits, only issue is a lot of the posts are very racist and bizarre, I can add algorithms to classify certain content and build separate feeds for them so that people dont see that content on the main feed. As for interacting there are many cool things that can be done, do you have any ideas to get people to interact in a unique way?
