Been trying this out with friends and family for a couple of weeks. Some things we like about it: no setup or signup, fast and snappy, doesn’t demand or abuse attention.
Some things I’m still thinking about: image scaling and optimization, discovery (search? hashtags? web-rings?).
- nabeards 6y agoThis is really great. Would love to be able to host it as a section on my own site. Re: images, what have you tried so far? I’ve been using guetzli to get them nice and small.
- aparks517 6y agoThank you for the kind words! I guess it might depend on how your site is put together, but I bet you could whip up something like this for it pretty easy. I had meant for this to be a weekend project, but I had it mostly done before supper on Saturday, so... ;) I figured I might use ImageMagick to scale the images and maybe jpegoptim afterwards. Thanks for the tip on guetzli, I'll check it out!
- oneearedrabbit 6y agoThat's how Twitter started back in 2006. Also, you reminded me Posterous [0], which ironically has been acquired by the very same Twitter. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterous
- aparks517 6y agoThanks for that link! I remember hearing of Posterous, but I don't think I ever tried it out so that was an interesting read.
