No, I'm just saying that HN traffic is a rare opportunity, and I know Questhub onboarding experience sucks, so most of these visitors will be lost.
With that being said, of course there are lots of plans for improvements (most of them listed in Meta realm), but people, mostly from Perl community, used it successfully for a few months.
I thought the on-boarding was rather pleasant! Keep up the good work!
I expected to be able to attempt other peoples' quests, but I don't seem to be able to. Is that outside your scope, just not implemented yet, or am I simply missing it?
About 10 minutes after I posted this, you commented on one of my Quests and ended up turning it into a stencil, thus answering my question before I got back here to read your actual answer!
It's a neat idea, I'll have to check out the meta-quests.
Technical nitpick: your front-end code blocks on mixpanel, and terminates if mixpanel doesn't respond. Usin noscript and blocking mixpanel, I don't get to see any content on your page.
This service was originally Perl-specific, before I decided to expand on the idea, leave my job and work on it full-time.
I'm always looking for new communities, but it's meaningless to create empty placeholders for each other language and expect that people would come, we need some amount of initial content first.
If you want to help me start a new realm, either with ideas for stencils and quests, or with how to bring a group of people to it, please let me know. (My email is me@berekuk.ru.)
There are many possible paths I can take, but the one I'm considering the most at this point is freemium with private/protected quests or realms being a paid feature.

[ 2.4 ms ] story [ 52.6 ms ] threadWe probably will use openbadges - https://github.com/berekuk/questhub/issues/40. But they are not implemented yet.

Are you implying you released a half-baked product? Nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't wrap it up like that!

If quest is based on a stencil, you can take the same stencil for yourself.
Otherwise, it's a feature called "Cloning", and it's not implemented yet: http://questhub.io/realm/meta/quest/51f7ab8688a70b5f74000046

This copy really bothers me. Drop the "basically" - it's totally superfluous and a bit amateur.

Okay, yoda.
Maybe get some (serious) proofreading or ask a friend to write your copy. I don't care how good your app is, the homepage is a joke.
English is not my native language, but I should've paid more attention.
I fixed the most obvious mistakes and I'll try to find a native speaker to do a real rewrite.
Totally.
