You need to give me a reason to trust you even for that one thing, or I will just go elsewhere.
I'm afraid I don't have anything to show in that regard (also, I want to remain anonymous), and I'm not gonna wait until this changes to publish the site (Actually, I'm not comfortable publishing the site in its current state, but I figured I should follow my own advice). I hope to get some endorsements from other people at some point, which should help a little.
I doubt this will be an issue though. I mean, if the content itself is really good, it will attract an audience.

For flat discussion I've been looking at Discourse.
The problem is that most of these software are a pain to get running. Originally I wanted to do everything myself and learn everything in the process, but it has been terribly unproductive and it took way too long to get where I am. That's why I'm asking for some technical assistance.
I think this is inevitable. If I want people to read something, I have to tell them that it is good. They can check for themselves if they like what they find and want to keep reading.
Was it so off-putting that it made you avoid the site? If yes, then what do you suggest? The site is designed to grab people's interest. If I start acting all humble, I think it would be worse at doing that.
Note that while I'm posting here first, the site is not specifically aimed at your average LWer. I want to capture a broader audience (and possibly make them LWers).

Fixed. Thanks.
Yeah, I'll see if I write something there. The problem is that I hate writing, so I tend to put quotes everywhere instead.
it might be a better idea to shift away from the first person personal in your writing.
I will. The portions I've written more recently already make use of the editorial We. I'll fix the rest as I find them.
I understand what you're saying, but there are several reasons why I still think a community would be a good thing. The first is that it will help with my job of selecting content. Currently the process involve myself spending way too much time on sites like Hacker News and Reddit, and having a discussion board where people can post content specifically for the inclusion on the main site would help immensely.
Secondly, one of the defining features of the community (hopefully) will be a high signal/noise ratio. The tentative name for it is "Silence" to emphasize that. The main site already features several essays that should help with having the right mentality... (read more)
I have a website I plan to launch soon, and I'd like to get some early feedback before I start spreading it around. It's basically a collection of my favorite stuff from around the web.
It's currently accessible from http://chuuni.org. I'm taking suggestions for a better name/domain.
I also want to build a community around it, sort of like how LW is a community built around the Sequences. If anyone can help me with the software side, it would be appreciated.
I think that one is not Diego's. I was confused too, but the author's Wikipedia page) shows no sign of them being the same person[1], and Diego said:
I agree it's a great post though!
