>product-wise

Are you implying you released a half-baked product? Nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't wrap it up like that!

No, I'm just saying that HN traffic is a rare opportunity, and I know Questhub onboarding experience sucks, so most of these visitors will be lost.

With that being said, of course there are lots of plans for improvements (most of them listed in Meta realm), but people, mostly from Perl community, used it successfully for a few months.

I thought the on-boarding was rather pleasant! Keep up the good work!

I expected to be able to attempt other peoples' quests, but I don't seem to be able to. Is that outside your scope, just not implemented yet, or am I simply missing it?

Thank you!

If quest is based on a stencil, you can take the same stencil for yourself.

Otherwise, it's a feature called "Cloning", and it's not implemented yet: http://questhub.io/realm/meta/quest/51f7ab8688a70b5f74000046

About 10 minutes after I posted this, you commented on one of my Quests and ended up turning it into a stencil, thus answering my question before I got back here to read your actual answer!

It's a neat idea, I'll have to check out the meta-quests.
