"""Search is cool, but Google-style universal search might be a bit overrated. Google still relies on institutions to provide data in indexable form, and those institutions build their reputations in ways that only partially rely on Google traffic."""

Yeah, young enough to just barely recall it :) Anyways, this is again a nice strategy, or better call it data grab. (Although, I haven't use GBoard)

We don't have beta ready, but we do have wireframes. Should we post them instead in "If you have an online demo, what's the url? (Please don't password protect it; just use an obscure url.)" question?

  If you want to start a startup I would advise you to come up with an idea and start working on your product.

I just want to know more about it, I know that it wouldn't be as helpful as doing it yourself and it won't be a comprehensive guide.

Can the design tell the user the meaning of upvote("I like this" / "I think this submission should be higher")? Because the significance of upvote could be either of the two depending on the area. Also, then one can sort accordingly.
