Stacker Improvement Proposal - SIP-001

I never knew that Stacker News had an option to post a bounty till i saw this thread

Then i explored further and saw the more types option while clicking on Post Button in home page.

Can we have all the options Links Discussion Poll Bounty Jobs All buttons displayed at once without having to click on more types?

@thebitcoinbugle I found one of your articles mentioned in the wild: https://timelineearth.podbean.com/e/tle-126-this-episode-contains-very-low-enthusiasm-for-alien-lifeforms/ They talked about your article on Bitcoin Audible being sued for not being ADA compliant.

How are you making use of the Reddit blackout to bring reddit bitcoin people to SN? @k00b

Okay I have this crazy idea. I think if this is properly implemented, it can bring tremendous value to SN users and owners. It's tricky, because there are perverse incentives everywhere you look. Here goes:

A sub dedicated to product reviews. The UI will have to be a bit different, more search oriented, because recent content is not necessarily going to be more relevant. Amazon reviews used to be reliable but they've gone to shit. I literally have no idea how to find quality products online outside of niches that I'm well-familiar with. In order to prevent spam, the posting charge would have to be somewhat high, and it would be limited to people who have been on SN for a while and for whom most engagement with SN is NOT via the product review sub. In other words, only people who use SN regularly and just happened to buy a product they like and want to tell others about it. People who appreciate the review tip with sats as with other posts. This is equivalent to the "people who found this review helpful" feature in Amazon.

I think this could be very useful to a lot of people. It's so difficult to find quality information in situations where there are strong incentives to game the system.

Is the goal to maintain SN as a forum style, or are there plans to expand laterally?

Today I am a little tired. I need a coffee to activate myself☕

2 more years to go in my CS degree. Looking forward to learning as much as I can in my spare time about programming on bitcoin/lightning

I hope you're doing well K00b

I love SN because of its similarities to Reddit. Good content rises to the top.

The blackout that has been underway the last 2 days, has really highlighted the need for an alternative and surely that alternative is right here? Should SN not be allowing custom ~subjects to be made about anything and let the platform grow where users want it to grow?

I know there have been discussions around ~tech but curious why SN are limiting it.

Example of a subreddit discussion on the blackout, where they feel there is no alternative:

Day 60 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

@k00b you should consider adding that marketplace sub on SN. Soon many plebs will want to dump their iShit devices...
