Futurebot commented on Accountability sinks   aworkinglibrary.com/writi... · Posted by u/l0b0

What the article describes seems like a parallel concept (and an important one.) I wouldn't call them Accountability Sinks, though, as they seem more like Accountability Avoiders. Here are things we might think of as sinks in the real world:

- "Sin Eaters"

- Corporations, especially companies that are spun off and take on all the debt of the original company

- Voluntary stool pigeons (in criminal organizations, etc.)

- Certain religious martyrs

I'm definitely open to adding profile photos. So far I've mostly been developing based on what I personally want because I do enjoy using the service myself. Description has been on the backlog for a while. For location: you can currently set a flag to show up on your profile in your settings, but I agree it would make sense to expand it to a full location. Messaging will definitely be coming.

Right now the only way to see if you have common discs with someone else is to directly visit their profile and a "Discs In Common" section will show up. But that's sort of impossible to stumble upon since user discovery is non-existent at the moment. Will be improving this in the near future (others who've collected this disc, etc).

I'll come up with an actual roadmap this week, but here's a few ideas that will be on it:

- Bio, messaging, full location, profile photos - Album reviews (only after collection) - Improved empty state and onboarding - Folders to organize your collection - Readable profile links

Appreciate the great feedback!

That's exciting, especially the discovery stuff. Thanks!

Notably absent hobby in the article is music. I'm currently working on a website that will function as a "hobby app" for digital music/album collection.

Cool idea. Are you planning to add profile photo, description, and location support like Letterboxd has? Maybe messaging?

Also, is there a way to find who else has listened to what I've listened to?

I like the short forumlation to explain it: "Dynamic Programming is approximately recursion + memoization + guessing"
