Hello everyone!
I'm An, the creator of SpaceHey - nice to see you here!
In this blog post I will write about my plans for SpaceHey in the future.
The Launch
On Sunday I took SpaceHey online. I posted it on ProductHunt and on HackerNews. Shortly after that, SpaceHey started to see a ton of visitors and new users! I would have never thought that such a huge amount of people would see my project!
SpaceHey is currently at 2400 users as I write this. That's incredible!! Even Fast Company wrote an article about it: View Article
New Features
I've added some new features yesterday and today: The biggest ones are Blog Comments (try them out below!) and the ability to Report Profiles, Comments and Blog Entries. If you see any spam Comments, hateful Accounts or anything else that violates the SpaceHey Terms of Service, please help me remove it by clicking on "Report". Thank you! Apart from that, I improved a lot of small aspects thanks to your feedback!
The Future
I will continue improving SpaceHey and adding new feature in the future! I will actively work on making SpaceHey better from now on! I made a small poll where you can tell me which feature I should add next: https://linkto.run/p/PMY6G7X5
SpaceHey isn't a short-term project for me - I'll keep working on it and we'll see where it goes!
Monetization
Many people asked me about my Monetization plans for SpaceHey. Truth is, I don't have any yet - but I'm open to any suggestions! Currently, I pay the bills for the Server and the Domain by myself. If you have an idea how we can sustain SpaceHey in the longer term, please contact me!
Christmas
On another note, Christmas is in a few weeks! I decided to make a SpaceHey Advent page with some helpful SpaceHey tips & tricks starting today every day until Christmas! Check out today's content at https://spacehey.com/advent
Thank you for being a part of SpaceHey.
Have a great time & happy holidays!

An, I sent you a email regarding verification. Can you verify my account please?

A multi channel/profile feature would be nice. I can switch between private and public profile/channel. I like to separate my public identity from my private identity
Kristie

I love that this exists and I’m happy you made it! (: can’t wait to see what the future holds!

You've got a great set up here, congratulations on all your efforts.
I do hope you can make money off it, as your work should be rewarded.
You should perhaps look into accepting tips from Brave Browser users - with Brave Browser people get rewarded over time with BAT (Basic Attention tokens) which they can then redeem and keep themselves or can use as tips for websites they appreciate (but the website has to enrol). You can then trade your BAT for other cryptocurrencies or USD etc
It seems like a way you could potentially get support that wouldn't necessarily cost anyone anything :)

More 'back' buttons, please! Thank you, I loved myspace. I used to put up multiple windows and dj from it (no xfade) but i have killer musical friends, my mix was awesome

Maybe you can have a system where we can get little things to customize our profiles with in exchange for donating money to the site? That way there's customization that also shows our dedication to helping this site grow!
Also I think an app is almost a mandatory move at this point in the internets life.

Want to reallly take FaceBook down? Do what MySpace didn’t do in 2010 during the early smartphone era and create a HeySpace app for Android & iOS so ppl can communicate & even edit their profiles on their phones without having to use Chrome or Safari. This is how Facebook overtook MySpace in the first place. With the creation of a site and app like this and the controversy of Facebook you could be the new Tom and have Zuckerberg money in five years time.
I'm not sure following in Mark's footsteps is the best idea. Do we really want to see another version of facebook?

I am willing to bet you that so many would help support this site if you added a donation button, especially if it meant they getting away from the leeches known as Facebook.
Yup!!! I would happily give money to help with financing this site!

My recomendation is to get pages like pimp-my-profile.com on board with creating backgrounds and coding for spacehey , people want to be able to customize there profile when they come to this social media , if they have to learn coding most americans will be turned off by it , its a select few of us who actually know what were doing bc we grew up with myspace.
Absolutely

I would love to be able to make my top 8 friends, maybe a way to customize blogs or bulletins, and be able to create albums for pictures. I'm excited to see how the Music section turns out, I hope you keep it clean like this and not make the mistake Tom did by allowing so much spam and ADS take over the site. Awesome site, brings lots of nostalgia, I was there during the beginning of Myspace and it is insane to have to go back all these years and remember HTML and CSS codes.

I love the site so much! For the monetization, maybe you can do like Wikipedia and their donation system.
Otakuprincess1
to monitize u should go the wiki route and keep it user funded but not block feature just ask everyone to donate and keep this a safe haven
Knik
i would say regarding monetization, if there was a way for you to get a kickback for every privately advertized link (from a business) clicked that is on the page, instead of monetizing by selling everyone's information (like the other social media sites do), that would seem like a more ethical way to go.
Yes!! Please keep our info private and secure. I think people will be more willing to donate. :) People love this site already, you’ll succeed.
