That’s so funny — my social network[1] was paid, too! People hated that shit but — this was when Twitter had just started dying. Maybe there’s more appetite for sustainable alternatives now. I certainly see lots of projects in process on Ti

This is exactly why I read HN! So cool. And a fellow Svelte lover. 10/10. Good luck with the social network! It’s brutal out there.. PS — would be so cool to see a tailwind plugin of this (which in v4 should be just copying the vars in

The case for this not being flagged: this is an intellectually curious forum and the mods have a proven ability to adequately moderate other contentious threads and allow politically-charged posts. If what Pres. Biden said about a growing

I handled the “real human” problem by charging access to the platform (and doing something socially responsible with the profits). Saw recently that X is starting to do this for signups, which feels icky (and likely explains why my idea did

Hi, I built one of these a few years ago. Poured my life savings into it. You’re about to get a very tough education on who uses social networks and why they do it. It has nothing to do with privacy. Would urge you to not bother.

If the US was an organism, what role would an under-educated X% play? You say it’s a “cost” but equal education obviously isn’t a priority in our country and I can’t help but wonder who benefits from such a high percentage of illiteracy (th
