That was one of the general ideas [1] driving a platform I created years ago. It never took but I keep it going because I'm still fully behind the deeper philosophy [2].

I'd be very interested getting some help to make it successful if anyone has a passion for the idea.

Not to be dismissive, but the UI, UX of that site is pretty terrible. I went there and browse a few links but the general feel of it is dated and poor quality.

No offense taken and, of course, the UI/UX would have to be redone. But to make that investment, more would have to be interested in the idea.
