Thanks for sharing @thelissilent what was the thought process that led to you building YeaNay? And were you listening to the Silento track Whip/NaeNae while coding it? 😄

@abadesi Thanks for the comments! Whip/NaeNae wasn't my main inspiration, but no one has to know that :) I think there's something freeing about being able to ask and answer questions anonymously nowadays. There's so much of us out in the internet nowadays that it's hard to post anything anywhere without some repercussion, so I think we're really careful and we really tailor the messages we put on social media. Being able to ask a question without anybody knowing it's you let's you ask things you probably wouldn't ask on social media, and I think people are more honest when answering questions, because they're not worried about "likes" or support from their peers.

@thelissilent Love that! Yes I do miss the good ol' chat rooms of the mid 2000s where you could discuss the most inane stuff... I guess some people have that in Reddit but I always find its UX leaves something to be desired.

@abadesi Yeah I agree with reddit. But even there, you have a sort of "ulterior motive" with upvotes and internet popularity, even though it feels "anonymous".

@thelissilent So true, I only recently learned about people that create multiple aliases to upvote/ start debates... crazy times we live in.

@mickc79 An anonymous one :) We're definitely trying to grow our userbase, since more users = more questions and more responses, which makes for a better experience!

@thelissilent fair enough. I think this would be fun if thousands of users answered. Not so much fun if there are 12.

@mickc79 yep, totally agree. That was the purpose from the get-go. We've gained a ton of new users today alone, so we're inching along. Keep checking back!
