Spread the word

I’d caution against spreading the word too much. Remember, the platform itself… doesn’t actually exist yet. We don’t want to set up expectations and then just have people annoyed when they arrive and it’s still in the process of being built from the ground up.

So, yes, we should be letting people know about the project, but. But. We need to make it very clear that this is still in development and isn’t in a usable state.

I’ve already seen comments from people on SE that said that they popped over and were disappointed to discover that it didn’t actually exist yet. We need to avoid setting up false expectations.

For that reason, I don’t think it’s wise to start a massive campaign to inform people about Codidact right now. We don’t especially have to worry about having a critical mass ready for when we launch; that critical mass already half-exists and will arrive from SE when we do go live. So for now, let’s focus on building Codidact; there’ll be a time to market it afterwards.
