RE: Why Potential Github Disruptor Utopian.io The Biggest Thing in Tech is Since... Github and the Steem Blockchain
calling utopian as a "github disrupter" doesn't feel right. Github's main purpose is hosting projects while utopian focuses on rewarding the development and contributions in open-source world.
There were some examples before like bountysource but rewards are very limited.
utopian.io backs the contributors itself and doing that with a digital currency is a great idea. huge props to @elear again.
Hence why I used "potential", @emrebeyler. I thought long over the title but eventually, especially with the ability to sync, the users and Utopian community will express whether they want to be in one two places.
That doesn't need to interfere with @elean's vision for the platform either. Smaller projects may prefer to cultivate a following in only one location.
Addendum: I think bountysource is only remotely similar to Utopian. Utopian is something totally new, and disruptive, in both concept and methodology.
But there is no potential to disrupt github, again. No offence, but utopian and github are two completely different things.
They work well together, but as a developer:
- I need to push my code to github repositories.
- I need to track my issues with github issues.
In order to disrupt github, utopian.io should provide these two main compenents of github at least. Which will be a total loss of main focus, and competing against giants like github, bitbucket is impossible for a small group of people.
I think you may underestimate how startups can evolve.
I completely agree with @emrebeyler.
You're now being defensive, you were explained what github and utopian.io actually are, how they differ and how they're not competitives. Accept that you're wrong.
Then you also say: "I think bountysource is only remotely similar to Utopian. Utopian is something totally new, and disruptive, in both concept and methodology." without giving much information. "I feel like this is shadow and pedantic". That's what you sound like.
Why is Utopian totally new, disruptive in both concept and methodology?
