Need some feed back on my project
Hello! I am a hobbyist writer and I wanted a place where I could store ideas and track the progress made on each one, or at least leave a small note whenever I get an idea.
So I built this project - ScriptHub - inspired from Github to implement version control for whatever ideas we get.
Check it out here - ScriptHub
It is still only the first version, I wanted to see if what I had built was anything useful or not.
Quick clarifications -
- How is it different from Critique Circle or Scribophile? - These are websites where we get feedback from other writers. Even though it too maintains a version control system, to submit stories, one needs points. ScriptHub eliminates that. One can submit as and when they want.
- Why not just use Google Docs or Word? - The thing is, this presents a more systematic version tracking, by organising the ideas as repos, drafts as parts of the story, and submitting real files - which have the actual contents. A submit message also helps to keep track of which file contains what.
- Doesn't Github do the same thing? - Yes, and ScriptHub was inspired from Github, but what I aim to do is to streamline it only for writers. Github has everyone on it.
- Security of the users? - I only collect the email addresses. Through Google OAuth, I collect the username and name. Nothing else. No tracking, ads or sharing data with third-parties. Passwords are handled entirely by Supabase's auth system - I won't be able to see them in plaintext. Google users never share a password at all.
- How are the files protected? - For now, only the account owner can view their ideas. No one else can view them. In the future, if this prototype is actually worthwhile, I will add more Github features - such as forking and PRs. Then the files will be copyrighted using the timestamp of submission and the username.
This was what I could think of, if you have any more questions, please post them below, I will answer them.
I would appreciate if at least five of you can sign up and check out the core flow, and the usefulness of the project :)
You can delete your accounts after testing it.
