Don't trust strangers

3 points by morganbyrd ↗ HN
My brother and I are working on a site (kick-list.com) for friends and friends of friends to share recomendations. We are arguing about keeping everyone's lists private or letting everyone see what people are asking about, 'kicking' (which is basically liking it), etc. He thinks it should all be private, but he's also a paranoid geek. I think it's fine to see everyone's lists, but not be able to add to them unless invited. Please check it out www.kick-list.com. We would love some thoughts, comments, etc.

It just seems like if your slogan is going to be "don't trust strangers" you shouldn't be able see a strangers list.

Why not allow users to choose, but default to public?

On an unrelated note, the box-shadow for the .wrapper div makes the page look unnaturally dull and gray. Allowing a little bit more of the background color through helps the shadow seem more realistic, and also brightens up the page some.

I liked it set to...

box-shadow: 0 0 100px 0px rgba(187,187,187,0.5);
