Thanks so much! About the frontend comment - I'd not really heard anything about the actual design, so that's a very welcome piece of feedback - I'll add that to the bugfix list.

I think half the reason I really built this app is because I keep saying on my own Twitter "I want to learn how to do ____ - but I don't know where to start!". When I don't hear anything back, it's a little bit demotivating. I really love the idea of strangers helping strangers with their work and goals too; but I also feel that the questions would be better suited to those who have specified exactly what kind of questions they can answer.

Food for thought, I guess. Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it :)

No problem! You definitely have a bit of a double edged sword on your hands. Personally, I love the idea that you could help a complete stranger who thinks they are just yelling into the void, at the same time, it would probably be a more useful service if the queries were sent to it directly and tagged by expertise, blah blah blah.

So, do you integrate both behaviors? Cut your baby in half? Whatever you choose to do, I'll be interested in the result. Good luck!
