  It looks beautiful! It reminds me of Gingko (https://gingkoapp.com https://gingkoapp.com) and Pinboard. How are you guys going to make money? I understand it's a non-profit but you're gonna still need money for servers and man-hours.

      Awesome. Do you do photo-hosting? I could see that easily sapping away all of your money. Or is it just text?

        We just do text - but we do it well. Text is both very cheap, and very expressive.

          As I mentioned in a reply to a comment about another text-only platform, not allowing photos and videos will not attract many users. There will be a small niche of users, but it won't become massive without those. It'd be quite similar to web based forums and discussion platforms. I hope you can figure out how to keep the platform running while allowing non-text content.

            Thanks! We're committed to only text, I'm afraid, and the platform is already sustainable :)

            Becoming massive isn't one of our aims (we're a nonprofit).
