Aside: I see a ton of hype about threads.net all over HN and elsewhere, but it's still useless thus far.
It loads a javascript-driven animation of what appears to be a galaxy, any not much else. There is a QR Code at the bottom right corner that appears to be invalid.
Not sure what I'm missing. 10MM+ signups through what mechanism? There is no signup form as far as I can tell. Do they restrict full content access for linux-hosted browsers?
edit: after saving and reversing saturation, I've resolved the QR Code to https://www.threads.net/download/redirect https://www.threads.net/download/redirect, which only offers binary download options, and only for mobile platforms.
Where is the web interface?
- wilg 3y agoThere is no web interface, but they will almost certainly add one. MVP baby!
- caeril 3y agoGot it, thanks. But that's really odd because most mobile MVPs are either just PWAs or some React Native shit compiled to binaries. Why the hell wouldn't they just release it on the web?
- heywire 3y agoMost people access social media using mobile apps, not websites. I don’t think I’ve used the Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter websites in years.
- wilg 3y agoFocusing on native mobile apps over web for launch is a completely sound strategy. 80% of Twitter use is from mobile, and probably near 100% for Instagram since they barely have a web version. But I’d expect them to do a web version relatively quickly to appeal to Twitter refugees.
