I've built and launched a free and community-driven platform for developers to discuss and share ideas.
I am a 16 year-old, juggling between building websites and school, so I just developed the site as a side project, but really, I put in 3-5 hours everyday building it after school for 4 months (includes the time for designing it and educating myself different tools). After sharing it on reddit, I received a lot of feedback, some of it was tough but really valuable. It helped me understand user psychology and what it takes to create products that users love. I have already developed a plan for executing my ideas, which I will implement in the future if this website does not succeed.
Feedback is the most important thing!
Based on the feedback I've received from the users on reddit I've updated the site, for example at first users had no way to see the homepage before signing up, and 10 discussions were discussed every 15 minutes, I've fixed this issues solely on users feedback, and I went even further with feedback by adding a button that redirects to a page that users can suggest features and create feedback (I guess by now I've felt in love with feedback)...
On Rapport, you can ask your questions, and 10 discussions are discussed every day. This setup encourages active participation—when a discussion starts, a notification system alerts users who clicked the notification button. If a topic relates with many, they'll upvote it, drawing even more participants and leading to lots of answers.
This is my very first website and I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advice you might have for me!
