Great product and seems like a great team. I actually heard about this a few weeks ago and even attended an AMA. Learned a lot and hope to be on there myself one day! In the mean time have got great stuff out of it. Good job guys. Definitely deserves an upvote.
@stefamini Stefanie, it's amazing to hear you know us for weeks and that you like our product :), you are more then welcome to start answering question in yes.no as I am sure you can provide a lot of value for our users.
Guys, I love the idea! This is exactly what I was missing from Q&A platforms such as Quora and Jelly app. The focus on the person and not the question will enable not just to get valuable answers and information about questions, but most importantly will give the opportunity to build last-long relationships. I think that this opens the door to talented people in business, education and much more, and connect them to influencers who might mentor them or really give them the chance to fulfil their potential.
This product looks very promising. This is one of those things that can in time - become huge.
The more informative the answers, and the more "up the food-chain" they are - the more people will come and ask a larger volume of questions, and in total questions of higher quality.
Best of luck,
i can totally see myself using this in order to learn.
@tesslerc It's invigorating to see that you love our product Chen, feel free if you have any ideas or suggestions to improve, we too can always learn :)

@jodoron I think maybe a "trending" or "most popular" based on categories / follow based on topic and not only people.
For instance, I really like technology - any type, anywhere. I am more interested in seeing what people are asked and what they answer - on this specific topic and less interested in their opinions on economics and so on.
Also I don't really know who would be interesting and who would not (hence no idea who I should follow) - so following a topic would be easier.
@tesslerc@elyawp Thanks Chen, actually Elya asked a similar question, the answer is that we are currently working on providing a more smooth experience to follow content people want :)

Very interesting product and user experience. Is a French version available?
This is an awesome service. We are using it to answer questions and find interesting answers. It is cool be able and discover top leaders from many industries and be able to ask them anything without barriers. You may ask us anything: https://yes.no/ranky-de-muchkin
Hi guys, great product. The questions provide a more personal perspective on people we know - love it.
One question though - if I ask someone a question, how long until I get an answer?
@guyklr Thanks for the positive vibes and feedback. It depends who you asked, not everyone will be able to answer all the questions they get, and that’s where upvoting comes in. The most popular questions will be self-evident, and will help us bring them to the site, as well as help them decide what to answer first. So get upvoting! By upvoting your freshly asked question you increase the chances for a fast response from your hero.
Other than that, we do our 200% to constantly onboard interesting people on yes.no to answer your questions :).
I think this is a really interesting idea. I'll echo some of the concerns here though. I'm not really sure where this fits alongside things like Twitter, Quora, etc. Like, you can ask someone to answer a question on Quora already—I'd be worried this is just another place your questions could be ignored 😁
I guess my biggest concern though is that it doesn't seem like the kinda place you could ever build a relationship with someone. So say I interact with someone on Twitter, there's a chance that there could be a more meaningful conversation that leads to opportunities in the future. I'm not seeing that here.
That being said, I've spoken to @jodoron before, and seems like they're working hard on making it super awesome. So it's definitely one to watch.
@jakeapeters Thanks for the feedback Jake! Like every startup at first there will be challenges. Having said that, we rely more on the mechanism we built in yes.no. Quora is all about the questions rather than answers, you can ask a question and a thousand people would respond but not the person you care most about their answer - we tackle that issue and give it more "spotlight" in our value proposition.
Relationship building is one of the most important challenges for growth in any social network, we have a few plans ready for when we grow big enough with our audience we will implement them to enhance relationships, but it intrigues me, what would you do differently on yes.no to increase the creation and sustaining of a relationships within yes.no?
@jodoron It wouldn't be fun running a startup without the challenges 😁
I'll be interested to see how you get on with the relationship building side. Because building meaningful relationships is a massive problem for a ton of people, and not one that's really been solved yet.
Honestly I'm not sure what you could do. It just feels a little transient over there. You ask a closed question, get a closed answer. Maybe threaded answers / conversations could work—so you ask a question, get an answer, and can then publicly carry on that conversation.
