The @march50.sip.name user has now been created. This will be the account used to manage the March 50 Challenge.

I have the initial content set up for March50.com, now I'm working on improving the design to make it a little more appealing.

Working on adding the ability to add attachments to a post. The first type of attachment will be a "text" attachment that will allow for long form posts.

Sell In Public now uses domain based usernames. The default domain that everybody is initially given is a subdomain of https://sip.name

Sell In Public now has threaded replies, notifications, stars, and flags.

SellInPublic.com has now officially launched! It is very, very early alpha with a lot of other features to come.

The very early alpha version of the #SellInPublic site has now been pushed to Github. There is still a lot more to do but I'm happy with this start:

Haven't gone to sleep yet, working through the final issues to get the very early alpha version of sellinpublic.com launched.

Finishing out the cron delay system to protect against spam on the #SellInPublic site. Starting off, new users will have a 48 hour delay. The delay will decrease as users post without getting moderated.

#BuildInPublic

The #SellInPublic service is now added to my www.dashboardq.com site. The login is not set up yet, but I'm getting closer to a very, very early alpha launch.

#BuildInPublic

Nothing there yet, but I've got the repo for source code set up for the #SellInPublic site:

I'm tring to have a very minimal pre-alpha version of SellInPublic.com out tonight before I go to bed. I've got my todo list of what I need finish to launch, but not sure if I'll be able to get everything done.

The plan for #SellInPublic is to eventually add markdown support but not initially.

#BuildInPublic

I use a custom web framework for my projects. I had to do a lot of clean up on it, but it is now ready to go. I'm behind schedule of where I'd like everything to be for the #SellInPublic site, but I'm still making good progress.

#BuildInPublic

For the initial version of #SellInPublic, it will only have text and links. It'll be a lot easier to moderate and host.

Later, I may add images. I don't anticipate being able to do audio and video anytime soon just for bandwidth costs alone.

The concept I want embraced for #SellInPublic is similar to the way #BuildInPublic works.

Encouraging people to share details and helpful tips that work for them. I want it to be the centralized place to learn how to sale and market an online business.

Thinking through comment nesting. Really deep comments can cause issues with the UX. My plan right now for #SellInPublic is to limit comment threads to 10 deep. I'm curious if/how that will affect replies.

#BuildInPublic

The #SellInPublic community site will protect against spam using time based delays. When a new account is created, they will be able to post but their content won't show up for an amount of time (like a 12 hour delay).

After the delay, the content will be posted publicly.

I will be able to manually review the new posts and also add some automated functionality to help indicate posts that are likely spam.

Other users will also be able to flag posts to notify a moderator about spam or an abusive post.

If a user's post does not get moderated after a time period (like 48 hours), then their delay time will decrease.
