Isn't this (basically) what geocities was? A single "post" (webpage) that you can edit? Users were able to browse and search for other geocities pages.

- catapart 4y agoI mean... you're eliding a lot of stuff with that "basically", but I suppose you could contrive that analogy? Geocities didn't do a "global" or "following" feed with every user's content updates being represented as a reading list. Nor did it simplify the site's content management with "article"-based fracturing so that only relevant changes were presented to relevant parties. Geocities is "basically" this other site in the same way that a peanut butter sandwich is "basically" a hamburger. Apps, as with entrees, can be so different as to be unrecognizable, just in their expression, much less their contents/functionality. But, by all means, if the Geocities framing helps you contextualize it better, more power to you!
