Hi hackers, I'm a blind programmer who loves chatting. Text chats with screen readers aren't ideal, so I'm building a location-based audio chat app for easy neighborhood connections. Think of it as an audio-based YikYak for your area.<p>The technical side is manageable, but I need help with the human aspect:<p>1. Spam Control: How can we prevent misuse?
2. Monetization: How can we discourage self-promotion?
3. Safety: Would age restrictions help combat bullying?<p>Looking for insights from product managers on tackling these non-technical challenges. Thanks!
The biggest questions to answer is how will it succeed when this idea has been tried and failed a couple times.<p>Two main problems,
1. it is much easier to make a compelling tweet/post than audio clip.
2. And much less time consuming to consume text and pics.<p>Unless this is live and then you have the problem of people have to be on at the same time.<p>Unless you can find answers to these problems, spend your valuable time on more feasible idea.
