Tell HE: An Update

Thank you. The last month has been immense and you have been amazing.

We launched Hackful Europe a bit more than a month ago and today we are 1300 hackers strong. We have been working hard on improving the system and have seen a growing number of active contributors.

We've added:

  • RSS Feeds (hackful.com/frontpage.rss / hackful.com/new.rss / hackful.com/ask.rss)

  • Markdown in comments

  • Automatic URL and @ Twitter handle linking

  • Simple Profiles - Showing users' posting history

Coming Next:

  • Commenting via email reply

  • Extended user profiles

  • A kick-off HackfulThon in London

We are keeping HE flexible and non-prescriptive; A lot already exists in Europe so Hackful.com will help to join some dots where we can.

Our mission is simple: give European Startups a voice and a place to communicate.

With this goal in mind please spread the word!

Wonderful job!

Good job setting this up. A mobile version would be great IMHO.

Who's maintaining the HackfulThon feature requests?

@8bitpal shall we start a thread?

Put it into github. I'll put it together from there.

Someone should monitor the issue tracker/github repo more closely. Can't start thinking about new stuff before someone gives some feedback

1 point by pbjorklund about 1 year ago  

Yes, sorry about that. I have been swamped with work lately. Would you maybe be interested in getting commit access to the repo? You know your stuff.

1 point by E about 1 year ago  

Well that would help with speed, perhaps not so much with quality ;)

Why not list also user comments, not only stories, like hackernews does :)

I still can't stay signed in on iPad, usually lasts about 5 days before I have to sign in again.
