Hey guys! It looks pretty neat. Congrats on the launch. I am sure you know about it, but it looks in a way similar to ask.fm (They are widely used in the gaming/Esports community). Their UI/UX is not so great tho but you should definitly look into them!

@bouazizalex Hey Alex, thanks for the support! Yes indeed, ask.fm is very successful, although sometimes at too great a cost. That's why we're dedicated to offering a moderated and respectful Q&A environment, without any option for asking anonymous questions.

Amazing product, hopefully this will really empower people giving them access to top influencers tips. In tha last @usepencil post on @medium was underlined how important it is to have a mentor and the possibility trough mentors to boost the learning curve. See Problem → Do research/Come up with possible solutions → Consult Mentors → Execute Great job!

@rubenvivanti Thanks for the nicest words Ruben :) It is of course one of our goals.

This looks like a very interesting concept, surely now that the AMA option is becoming more common across the net. The test will primarily be based on the content of the platform and what it has to offer. Good luck to the team!

@niron Thanks for the kinds and honest words Nir, working hard to build ourselves and provide this content on a daily basis :)

Hi Asaf and Jonathan! Great product. I've been using it from Beta stage and am a big fan. Love the fact that I can actually ask people to submit their questions there instead of my email inbox ;) Who would be your main target audience for this?
Assaf Levy
@roypovar We love to have you on our site, Roy. Main target audience for now, when launching, is tech/business/science. But soon(!) we want to get out of our 'bubble' and get more public figures, thought leaders and .... celebrities.

@roypovar Thanks for the being a faithful user and a supporter Roy :)

Great Idea, I think it should have some different aspects that Quora doesn't have . I love Blue-white Tech so i hope you succeed , also i'm following your for a some time and think you did a great job until now.

@shatztal Wow, thanks for the wonderful words Tal :) Glad you like yes.no and our work.

Great job to the team on putting this together, doing outreach, and creating a community from scratch. Never an easy thing! I like how this focuses on asking specific people directed questions - a lot of which are thoughtful ones. I do feel that a lot of the questions appear canned or are coming from pseudo accounts, but I imagine once the community takes off, things will take care of themselves and it won't really matter. I believe of the keys to keeping your experts to come back and remain active is by somehow letting them know that their answer has made a difference. Quora uses upvotes; Reddit AMAs have a constant free flow of responses from active participants, etc. Again this may work better when the community has grown sizeably, but it will be very important to think about, imo.

@alirtariq Hi Ali - thanks for the support and feedback, it's much appreciated! You're certainly right that building a community from scratch is no easy task, and it can take some time for it to develop and reach a good balancing point. In terms of indicating that answers have made a difference, we have recently introduced the 'like' feature (heart button) for answers (having previously focused only on the upvote for questions). This is a simple but effective way of expressing that an answer is good and appreciated. But definitely agree with the sentiment here, and it will be interesting to think of new and better ways to express this. Any suggestions for how we could do this in a more powerful way would be most welcome!

Been answering some questions that are up there. Really like it, have been using the app. Are there plans to allow sharing answers to platforms other than Facebook? I would like Twitter especially and linkedin.
yonatan doron
@robertwilliger Hey Rob and thanks for the feedback, yes you can currently share your answers from your profile page to Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn, Let me know if you didn't managed. Also welcome to shoot me an email to jonathan@yes.no

Excellent product. The Internet is all about social interaction, and Q&A is one of my favorite formats for it :)

I don’t see anyone I know using yes.no why should I join?
yonatan doron
@bysdan Thanks Dan for the feedback :), yes.no is a crowd interviewing platform. This means that we use the power of the crowd both to source the best quality content and to help us recruit the best quality users. Upvoting other good questions both creates a system of trending content, and helps us in our efforts to bring new and interesting people to the platform. We can create pages about your heroes where you can ask and upvote questions, and this is the vital ingredient for our campaign collateral! You may of course also find that there are many yes.no users who will interest you. We’re building a category tagging system that will enable easy discovery of relevant content and users.
