Ask HN: Help testing a World-building app IDEA
3 by 1mrjackdaw | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone, If this is an inappropriate place (or manner of asking), please let me know [ or remove this with my implied apologies]. WHAT DO YOU WANT I'm hoping DMs, authors, and the scripturally- or TTRPG-inclined will describe any features they want/find most appealing. I'm going for a critique of the product offering itself, and will also accept that it has no value to any of the target audiences. https://ift.tt/sgeyvNW WHAT IS IT At its core, a "collaborative world-building tool." It is for people who build/use fictional worlds: for example, you can associate a character with a specific building in a specific world. Your data can be public or private. None of the uh... collaboration bits are in there yet, since I have been focused on the "world-building" part. WHO IS IT FOR Currently, three groups: - Dungeon masters (who want to plan out their worlds, locations, and characters) - Authors (same as above; with some author-specific bits; for example, you can "talk" to your characters in a limited way) - People who like reading written content of any kind WHAT ABOUT "AI"? AI assistance is designed to prompt you along your creative journey; you can use it to generate descriptions, images, or contextual creative speculation. You can also use the site without it. ANYTHING ELSE? Sorry for the long read; this has been the work of just a couple of guys (one a bit more insane than the other). I am grateful for any time you can spend on it.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns

Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns 4 by PopAlongKid | 0 comments on Hacker News. For years, I have been obtaining free annual credit reports (annualcreditreport.com) which must be provided by law. Recently, for the first time, when I tried to obtain my Equifax report, I was prompted for an email address and a mobile phone number, a new requirement that apparently cannot be bypassed. The other two bureaus, and Equifax previously, confirmed identity by asking knowledge based questions. They do not need my phone or email for anything. Next, trying to obtain the report by phone instead of web site per instructions, I got to the point where I entered my ZIP code on the phone keypad, the voice menu system correctly repeated the number back to me, but every time I press 1 to indicate it is correct, the system acts like it got an invalid response and only gives me the option to enter further information by voice, not by the phone keypad. Just as with my phone number and email...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media?

Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media? 2 by rglullis | 2 comments on Hacker News. With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services? Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"? Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments. Maybe I am missin...
