These don't seem to make use of http://openbadges.org/ unfortunately.
Founder here. Panicking, because I'm SO not ready for HN traffic! (Not technically, but product-wise.)
We probably will use openbadges - https://github.com/berekuk/questhub/issues/40. But they are not implemented yet.

Are you implying you released a half-baked product? Nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't wrap it up like that!

No, I'm just saying that HN traffic is a rare opportunity, and I know Questhub onboarding experience sucks, so most of these visitors will be lost.
With that being said, of course there are lots of plans for improvements (most of them listed in Meta realm), but people, mostly from Perl community, used it successfully for a few months.

I thought the on-boarding was rather pleasant! Keep up the good work!
I expected to be able to attempt other peoples' quests, but I don't seem to be able to. Is that outside your scope, just not implemented yet, or am I simply missing it?

Thank you!
If quest is based on a stencil, you can take the same stencil for yourself.
Otherwise, it's a feature called "Cloning", and it's not implemented yet: http://questhub.io/realm/meta/quest/51f7ab8688a70b5f74000046

About 10 minutes after I posted this, you commented on one of my Quests and ended up turning it into a stencil, thus answering my question before I got back here to read your actual answer!
It's a neat idea, I'll have to check out the meta-quests.

Sorry, my fault. cool @openbadges.
The rewards on these quests, suck. I'm going to skip them and just go power level through some dungeons.
Why does Perl get its own category?
This service was originally Perl-specific, before I decided to expand on the idea, leave my job and work on it full-time.
I'm always looking for new communities, but it's meaningless to create empty placeholders for each other language and expect that people would come, we need some amount of initial content first.
If you want to help me start a new realm, either with ideas for stencils and quests, or with how to bring a group of people to it, please let me know. (My email is [email protected].)

This copy really bothers me. Drop the "basically" - it's totally superfluous and a bit amateur.

Totally.
Totally.
Okay, never mind. I read more:
> The more interesting is your quest, the people will upvote it, and the more points you will get.
Okay, yoda.
Maybe get some (serious) proofreading or ask a friend to write your copy. I don't care how good your app is, the homepage is a joke.

There are better ways to get this point across - while your opinion might be right, it does not warrant being impolite.
