I think convenience is a big factor. With Uber you can press a few buttons in the app, be swiftly picked up, taken to your destination, and continue on with minimal fuss. With public transit you must figure out the best route, wait for the

I agree, the design is a crucial part of it! I was originally inspired by Slack, and later Discord, having used irc growing up etc. Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it! I like the idea of (1), it would make it more uniform which could increase readability. For (2) I did truncate it but can see how for many sites it just shows the domain. I didn't want

Hey thank you for the feedback! I've received a fair amount of comments on the spacing/font size of the posts list & plan to tweak it. Appreciate the feedback & taking the time to check it out, take care.

Well, although I was hoping I wouldn't see anything too bad, it's also somewhat not surprising. I think any new discussion site will have to deal with it at some point. This is the mvp release so it is still lacking many features,

thank you! I agree that button is confusing, and a few others have mentioned it as well. I'm going to change it to behave like a normal back button. Thanks for stopping by!

what browser are you using? it's possible that it doesn't support brotli, although I'd like to know if it's something else. Sorry you're seeing that.

hey, I do like that very minimal font sizing! Maybe it'd be nice to add a way to shrink the text for people who'd like to do that? thank you for the feedback I appreciate it!

haha! I think there may be an issue around me switching from gzip to brotli compression for some browsers, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the issue. I will investigate, thank you!

Thank you I really appreciate it! I'm not sure why you weren't able to sign up, did it give you an error? This is the most people I've had on the site today so it's possible that a load issue was surfaced. Thanks again!
