   Thank you for checking it out! And if you have any ideas for how things can be improved, I'd love to hear them :)

   I run a knowledge engine project that actively mines facts from web-based sources and third-party data dumps. It was featured on the front page of HN a while ago, and has a total of $10 in funding (from a single donation; not a typo). I hav

   If you had enough contributors, a sponsored "spotlight comic" feature could work. Or you could potentially offer subscriptions to a "webcomic round-up" type service, for people who want the best comics (potentially in ce

   A couple of days ago, I shared a link to a knowledge portal demo ( https://tuvalie.com/fae/?q=Albert%20Einstein ). It stayed on the front page for quite a while and got a fair amount of attention, so I thought I'd s

   Thank you, DrScump. Both of these have been fixed. Users will be warned to change their security question if they're using an old, insecure question type, and no one will be able to select those questions beginning immediately. I was u

   Thanks for the info, and again, I really do appreciate the feedback! I don't want people to have to make up their own rules for things simply because the defaults aren't sensible. For this particular project, certain UI considerat

   Thank you! I can honestly say that comment put a smile on my face. As far as the scroll bars go, I just didn't want to take up too much screen real estate for those individual sections. (So that people who want to spend time with them

   I'm a big fan of the timeline, myself! I actually regularly export some of the timeline data to a TSV file for others to be able to use in their own projects. http://endlessorigins.com/ -- I'd love to know what ki

    Hey folks, I just wanted to apologize. I got an influx of several thousand views because of this post and exceeded some API usage limits, so the web and some of the image results were down for a bit. They're back up now, but if they ex

    Hi, gkya. The noscript element has been added. Based on some other feedback I've received here, I also reduced the font size and line width for encyclopedic information display. (It may require a hard reload to notice the difference.)

    Hey, if you're willing, could you shoot me an e-mail from the address it doesn't like? You can reach me at hello @ the domain of the site. That's the first I've heard of the issue, and I'd like to make sure it gets

    Hey, xjay. If you do a hard reload in your browser, you should see that the encyclopedic data is now bound to a 32em width (with a smaller font size). Does that look a bit better to you?

    I made a couple of small tweaks. If you have a moment and are willing to take a look, I'd love to hear your thoughts! (You may need to perform a hard reload in your browser.)

    Hi, eric. I haven't touched the header yet, but after doing a hard reload in your browser, can you tell me if you like the body style more? (And thank you!)

    Thanks for the kind words! You might have seen the UI after I just pushed a small improvement through (it was right around the time of your comment), so it may have been less offensive for your particular viewing! (If it doesn't change

    Hi. Thanks for the feedback. If I can help it, I don't want any advertising to touch the knowledge functions of the site. It's part of a larger project that offers subscription services and sponsorships for interest communities, s

    Thank you! I'm going to work through those suggestions later. Do you mind if I ask for your feedback afterwards?

    Those are perfect, thanks! After I'm doing fiddling with things later, do you mind if I solicit your feedback?

    Hi, xjay. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'll experiment with it later on today. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a reference site I can look at that you think really shines in terms of readability?

    Hi, eric. Thanks for the feedback. If you don't mind me asking, do you think it feels that way because of the color choices, spacing, order of content, or something else? The colors are tied to specific themes, which can be changed by

    That's a great idea, thank you. A little ashamed I overlooked it, actually :/ It'll be thrown in with my other to-do's for the day.

    Thanks for the feedback! What's being demonstrated here is one part of one feature of a larger project I've been working on over the last several years. I've built a lot of custom parsers that continuously mine/merge fac

    Funny you should mention that! For registered users, comparisons across concepts are an actual feature. The service tries to summarize on a per attribute, cross-entity basis what makes each item different or similar. It's pretty comput

    This is even more experimental than the main service, itself, but does something like this meet your needs (genuinely curious)? https://tuvalie.com/fae/?q=Albert%20Einstein&api

    Thanks for anyone who checks this out. I'd like to release a free API soon with most of the data the portal contains. That's one of my big objectives since hearing about Freebase shutting down. At any rate, all thoughts and feedba
