Review my side project: Sqrt(2)
travism: Nice to see that I'm not alone in trying to build a better social news site as a side project. And by the way, when you say "we", we all know there's only one of you. And forget about scaling. Learned that long ago myself...My side project is at http://mushpot.net, and I think the goals are similar to sqrt(2):- multiple votes- make it harder to game the system- give more productive members more influence over the contentBut instead of having users solve puzzles, on Mush Pot, the amount you get to vote depends on how many votes your submissions have received. And since I'm already started, here are some of the other ideas behind it:- long posts, not just links (posts can have hyperlinks)- there's no difference between top-level posts and comments..anything can appear on the front page- make users provide a reason for downvoting (or pile onto a reason given by another user)- tags, ability to weight your front page using tagsAnd it also lets you login with Facebook and post your submissions back to your Facebook feed.Wow, I'm impressing myself with the length of this feature list, although I have been building the site for quite a while. Now, everyone,  at the count of three...click...HERE!: http://mushpot.net
