Even as a non developer I want to read this stuff. Such a fun idea.
Robert Nachum
great idea!
Elizabeth
Wow, this is way more engaging than I was expecting... I wonder how this might affect the empathy in PMing from lurking business cofounders & managers? @ryanepp
Ryan Epp
@elizabethhunker Thanks Elizabeth! I'd hope it'd be a positive impact, but it probably depends a lot on the company/culture/individual.
Ben Tossell
Nice idea!! What made you decide to do iPhone and Android apps too rather than just web-based?
Ryan Epp
@bentossell Hey Ben, thanks! I decided to add the apps to make it easier for people to track their karma while remaining anonymous. They also make it easier to confess at work without your coworkers seeing what you're doing. πŸ˜‹
Edwin
Really cool, thanks for making the app!
Deven Bhooshan
Really cool ! Just added mine :D
Adam Bardoň
Great idea!
Ryan Epp
@bardonadam Thanks Adam πŸ˜„

Louis Magnotti
How was thing not a thing sooner!? Great idea
Kevin Yun
This and Devrant, fun stuff!
Graham Seymour
So, Whisper for devs, sans-teen-angst? I'm okay with this. :)
seko
Good luck with the apps and the idea of course, I really liked it! One thing though, we should be able to take back and change our votes.
Ryan Epp
@sekodev Thanks for the feedback seko! Undoing absolve/condemns is on the top of the todo list: https://trello.com/b/zAWArAUm/co...
seko
@ryanepp that's great! FYI, I'm not able to see the todo part of the board. I'm not sure if it applies to everyone but you should check it out.

How does this differ from DevRant and what types of other features can we expect?
Ryan Epp
@bauermetal Hey Justin, I think the biggest differences are that CC is totally anonymous and focused more on personal confessions rather than general rants. Although we get our share of rants. (Also, not that it really matters, but CC came wayyy before DevRant: https://www.reddit.com/r/program...) As far as features go, there's nothing major planned at the moment. I'm open to suggestions though! Anything in particular you'd like to see?
Pietz Prove
people like php? damn.
Ankita Kaushik
This is such a cool app. I wish someone comes up with a writer's confession. I'm sure we have a lot to talk about. :) Good job, Ryan
Ryan Epp
@kaushikankita12 Thanks Ankita!
Anthony Stylianou
Really like the idea!! Do you have any other new features coming up within the near future?
Ryan Epp
@anthony_stylianou Thanks Anthony! Nothing major planned at the moment. There are a ton of small things I want to fixup. If you're interested, I just made the trello board public: https://trello.com/b/zAWArAUm/co...

This is great!
