What is GOOZZY?
Good day to all. As always, the post on Habré is a kind of exam. There are many experienced people, and therefore the value of feedback is extremely high.
So.
GOOZZY is a new meta-Internet project. We specifically introduced a new term, so as not to claim the title of web 3.0. The prefix "meta-" can mean reflexivity, that is, something "directed towards oneself", for example, meta-information is information about information, or "something coming after" is a known fact that the term "metaphysics" appeared due to that the works of Aristotle, who had no names at that time, went right after his work “Physics”.
Let's try to look at today's web. If you throw away a huge amount of unpopular services, in the bottom line we get several social networks, as well as extremely popular thematic resources, such as Habr or littleone. Social networks are quite closed and, let's say, self-sufficient. Thematic resources are UGC-projects, which, in many respects, contain links to other sites and discussion of these sites. Users specifically explore the Internet, find interesting sites, topics, articles, and come to their thematic resource to discuss.

One of our employees, Yuri Buyanova (we are trying to listen to our employees), came up with a simple idea - “what if commenting on the site right on the site itself, on top of the content”?
GOOZZY.com is a closed beta version of the result of implementing this simple idea. GOOZZY users can post yellow stickers on any Internet page, share interesting ideas and communicate, right on top of the Internet.
We did not want to go into deep development for long months, but because we started in the closed mode with limited functionality in just a month. Our task is to understand how viable the project is, what functionality our users need, and what use cases will become popular.
Unfortunately, only the version under FireFox is currently available. This is a well-considered decision - we don’t want to spend extra time supporting two branches of the project, since the main task is to understand the needs of users.
Who is interested - write in a personal your soap, a number of invites, I will distribute.
Goozzy.com - we will make the Internet a diaper.
