I built a Q&A platform for tax discussion in Indonesia – would love feedback
Hi HN,
I recently built a platform called DiskusiPajak (https://diskusipajak.com), which is a Q&A community focused on tax-related questions in Indonesia.
The idea came from a very real problem: people here often don’t know where to turn when they have questions about taxes. There are regulations, but the language is confusing, and asking online usually leads to unhelpful or outdated advice.
This platform works like Stack Overflow, but for taxes — anyone can ask, answer, or upvote the best responses. So far it's very early, but we’re starting to see users asking questions ranging from freelancer taxes to company VAT and crypto taxation.
Some things I’d love feedback on: – Does this model make sense for niche topics like taxation? – Any suggestions for driving organic growth in a country-specific community? – How can I improve the UX or onboarding without over-complicating it?
I’d really appreciate any thoughts or critiques – I’m still figuring things out.
Thanks for reading!

Your platform is basically still "asking online".
What will ensure that the answers here will be helpful and not outdated, unlike these other places online?
If it's the voting, this is available in many other, already popular, platforms.
The above is based only on the OP, I didn't go past the landing page. Why is sign up necessary for seeing the discussions?

I can see Q/A on SO without logging in. On your site I can only see the login page.
