I don't know but I'll be the first on the plane either way! I was in Oahu for two weeks at the end of January, just before the Pandemic hit the mainland. It was amazing. What's it like living there?

gotcha, there was a social app posted here a few months ago (maybe 4-6 months ago) that aggregated a bunch of online games and added chat. I can't remember the name but I think it was something like koshi. I've seen people doing &

Working on a bootstrapped project and just imagining what I could do with $2billion... Imagine what half the people on HN could do with it. It's obscene. I think they were trying to essentially buy their way into mainstream adoption, b

Why? I'm not a fan of that idea as I'd rather find ways to spur new competition. Also, anyone can live without Twitter or any social network, whereas its harder to live without electricity, water, etc.

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 c

Greetings All, I'm building sqwok.im. It's a new public, open, and simple discussion site that mixes real-time messaging with topical conversation. On sqwok, every post has a built-in chat room instead of traditional comments. We

With the stakes being as high as they are, wouldn’t we want to know if there’s a crumb of truth to the allegations? A President beholden to shady foreign actors doesn’t sound like a good idea. Likewise if it’s false then let that come out.

I can't comment on their system, and as a long-time HN user overall I find it a great place to have discussion on varied topics. That said, I'm working on a new alternative site and welcome you to check it out. It's called sq

yes and no, the web app I'm working on at sqwok.im uses a proxy to point to a backend api that's built to be portable should the need ever arise (which I doubt would until it's in the status of "good problems to have&quo

curious what you mean by that? can’t you already either use existing video or download your videos? what about IG, tiktok, etc? feels like short-form video is pretty ubiquitous these days

Thanks for the solid recap, for some reason I forgot how voice chat was a big focus of Discord in the beginning. That might be because I mostly use Discord for non-gaming oss servers where voice chat isn't really a focus, and rather it
