pankratiev | 15 years ago | on: Show HN: Tag-based approach to connect programmers who have the same interests

It's about filtering posts submitted by users on Tagmask. Tagmask is a community site for programmers. So, content should be created by users. It's a problem of chicken and egg.

> How are tags assigned/chosen?

If you submit a post you should give it correct tags. For example, if you submit a post about some algorithm on PHP you should attach to it tags "php" and "algorithm". And in this way any user who subscribed to tag "php" or "algorithm" will see it in his feed.

You have control over it. You can add to your filter tags "algorithms", "programming", "compilers" and see more wide set of posts. In addition, you can exclude posts with unwanted tags. For example, you can see posts with the tag "web-development" except posts with tags "php", "asp.net" etc.

Actually, no. I just wanted to share this idea of tag-based approach and to get a few comments that it's absolutely stupid and useless, and I should stop working on it. I am working on Tagmask for over a year and I am almost burned, it seems that it's absolutely useless idea because nobody cares. Thank you for your comment. Now I'll stop posting on HN.
