The model seems like it's a bit more digestible / open for reading than Twitter's infamous threading model. Might be some promise here, though I have difficulty

  Hey how's it going? Thank you for checking it out. > The model seems like it's a bit more digestible / open for reading than Twitter's infamous threading model. Yes I agree! Twitter wasn't designed for realtime conversation, it was designed over 10 years ago when pagers were a thing. The idea is to take a slight twist on that model and build a new site that focuses on open conversation in a familiar but slightly new way. > I have difficulty seeing the chat model scale well to many users. I agree here too, and have some ideas for features that will help scale the conversations, such as chat modes, and side-channel ideas etc. For now it's "mvp" and I'm just focused on making it work with smaller groups of people. Certainly is a problem that will occur down the line though! Right now this is centralized, it's just me building it so I'm trying to get the "mvp" out and test the idea. There are lots of potential ideas for how it can play out in the future. Let me know if you have any other questions, I appreciate your feedback, feel free to mention me on there @guac, cheers.
