"I'm rather excited to get going with Soylent and to watch it grow. Nay, help it grow. I have lurked in /. for more than a decade (note: I'm not the same username over there, I know, how sneaky), and always wished I could have been involved with the beginning. So this is a great opportunity, and I joined as soon as I saw what Soylent was doing. Not to mention the fact that I felt right at home with the old style. It's very comfortable.
So here's a question for everyone. Are we going to be the same as slashdot? A clone that focuses as entirely as possible on tech related news? Or will we branch out to other topics? I'm interested to see either way. I posted a comment to this effect in one of our two existing polls, and it may be a community-wide assumption, but I do think it merits a discussion."

Congrats on getting the platform up and running. It's one of the first sites I visit per day now. Not long away should be an effort to get a mobile site running. Doesn't mean you have to do it yourself, there are lots of willing individuals who would be interested in tapping into your API, probably.
These days I use alterslash.org to read slashdot, and some other individuals also made an attempt at creating a site that made up for what the corporate overlords refused to do.
Everything is possible if "monetizing the site" isn't your primary aim. Let the monkeys fly!
Soylent, Pipedot, Usenet's comp.misc. An embarrassment of riches.

I've browsed the site on a mobile (Nexus 5 using Firefox). It's not too bad as is. A couple of bits don't scale that well, but its not completely terrible.
