With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.Feature idea: pay people to criticize an idea.
You start a ‘criticism bounty’ of 100 bucks, say, which is prorated among eligible critics after some deadline.
The amount should be arbitrarily customizable (while covering transaction costs). Minimum of $5.
There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.
When starting a bounty, the user indicates terms such as what kinds of criticism they want. This way, they avoid having to pay people pointing out typos, say.
Anyone can start a bounty on any idea. There can only be one bounty per idea at a time.
To ensure a criticism is worthy of the bounty, the initiator gets a grace period of 24 hours at the end to review pending criticisms. Inaction automatically awards the bounty to all pending criticisms at the end of the grace period.
Been trying a slight modification of bounties in prod for a couple of weeks or so. Working well so far.
@dirk-meulenbelt recently offered to chip in for a bounty I want to run. That got me thinking: multiple people should be able to fund bounties.
This is now a feature, see the ‘Funding’ section of a bounty.
