There’s an existing EA Discord server. Someone posted about it in the ‘Effective Altruism’ Facebook group, and it was the first mention I’d seen of an EA Discord anywhere, so it’s probably the only/primary one existing. There’s nothing “official” about the EA Discord, but it’s the biggest and best you’ll find if that’s what you’re looking for. I can send you an invite if you want.
If you want casual feedback, probably the best location currently is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eahangout/.
I definitely think it would be useful, the problem is that building such a platform would probably take significant effort.
There are a huge number of “ideas” startups out there. I would suggest taking a look at them for inspiration.
I don’t think about building a product from scratch, more about coordinating a Discord server, a Reddit board a Google doc for instance.
The website linked by @lifelonglearner is particularly good, even though it will be deleted by July.
Additionally, how come you posted here instead of on the Effective Altruism forum: http://effective-altruism.com/?
I initially needed an editor I was used to to link a post to someone on the EA Discord Server.
I thought I might as well do it on LW to gather input from LWians.
