Right now I need to manually enable it. The reason is because I want to set the right expectation and clarify it will not be 100% private and there will still be places where your activity might show up publicly.
Will enable it for you today. Anyone else can email me [email protected] to get it enabled. I will eventually add this as a profile setting on the site.
Hey Ben, congrats on the launch!
Having said that, we don't allow asking for upvotes on WIP.
While technically one post wouldn't be a problem, I have to be firm or we'll quickly find ourselves with many such posts which don't contribute any value to the community.
In addition, disallowing these posts ensures we detract anyone who'd join just to promote their own stuff. (I don't think you fall into this group FYI)
Rather than deleting the post, I decided to remove the links so we can keep this discussion visible for all.
I understand the frustration, but anything I can come up with to "take back" these invites, just ends up being rather complicated. Which leads to confusion, support issues, code complexity, etc.
The pragmatic solution I've taken so far, is to just give people more invites to make up for all the ones that end up going unused. Of course that doesn't address the bad feeling of seeing your invites unused, but just imagine you would have never had those invites anyway otherwise 😅
Yeah, I'm frustrated that the two people I've used invites on (who I know personally outside WIP) haven't been active either. I feel bad when I get so busy in the trenches I forget to post for a day much less ghost altogether. 😅
I like @marc's suggestion to add separate tiers to show community activity/support. I'm clueless about the coding requirements, but even something simple would be great!
Would an "inactive profile status" be hard to create?
Like if someone hasn't logged in/posted for a year, then the profile goes into an "inactive" or private mode where it's not public but it still exists on the back-end if they log in and reactivate it.
I get life stuff pops up so outright deleting profiles (especially if someone WAS active but isn't right now) might not be the best option, considering the customer support issues that'd pop up.
Welcome @pasquale!
Seems like Tanaki is a 3D model of some kind? How will users interact with it?
tanaki has:
- a live show
- an app/game
- a figma plugin
- open source character rigs
- and more to come

Interesting idea. I see where you’re coming from.
It would require quite a lot of work to many parts of the site to make hashtags as powerful as projects. For example, people might want to be able to use the API to fetch all their #life todos. Right now that’s easy, as it’s just a project which you can filter on.
If it has to be done through hashtags, it would require a different way to filter.
Similarly, if you want stats on your #life todos, right now that’s built-in to projects. If you want to have it for hashtags, I’d need to build that separately.
In the end I might end up having to build and maintain two very similar models.
Sorry to hear this
To clarify, this is copyright infringement, not trademark infringement. Copyright refers to any creative work. Trademarks refer to "marks" you use in trade to identify your products and company (e.g. a logo or name)
For trademark infringement, you're supposed to actively litigate to protect your rights. If you don't, you risk losing them.
For copyright, I'm not sure. I don't have experience with it.
My advice would be to take action if you expect you're losing sales because of this, or you expect this will be a long-term problem (i.e. if you expect more content to be pirated in the future), in which case it would be worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the legal process and get to know a lawyer.
P.S. happy to introduce you to a lawyer that has helped me with other IP issues
Thanks so much, and yeah, this would be affecting sales for subscriptions to use the IP. It'd be great to talk to the lawyer you mention, thanks!
