https://www.zipbash.com social network based on zipcodes. I was thinking it could be alternative to nextdoor where you can't post outside of your neighborhood. I also made registration optional, so you can post and comment anonymously. Also wanted to test out if people would pay $1/month for premium features I'd make in the future (private messaging...).

Anyway, most feedback I got was negative, so that's depressing. Maybe if I got proper feedback I could modify it for better.

I'm still working on it, there's a big change coming, not sure the outcome will be. Hopes.

What were the complaints?

Mostly about how the UI sucks, which I agree with but I don't have a creative UX skills. I'm mostly a data/business logic person.

Fix the UI, and start paying mturks to post topics from various locale's FB groups to get you off the ground.
