Sorry but isn't this what Snapchat is for? Or what instagram used to be?

HAhaha I'm 30, but damn that shows my lack of knowledge in tech! Oops! It's just my broad perception of 1.0 vs 2.0 from the things I've read. Embarrassing.

I absolutely love the idea of the public square. It's been something I've been dreaming of for a while now, to have a place on the web like that. But having the entire web as one public square, that blows my mind.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that the web is really just a container. A container of infinite possibilities. In the beginning (Web 1.0), it was one of static websites. Web 2.0 made it interactive, allowing for user input su

Totally agree. It's better now that HN has been giving some really great feedback, either on the specific work itself, or mostly from answering all my other questions surrounding it. This exchange of thought and ideas and different per

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!! > Each of the 5 areas listed are being worked on my many in each field and what's lacking is how these come together that makes it cohesive. This is a really great point. Often people

Yes it was great! In fact I did for a long time want to keep my vision a "secret", for exactly all the reasons you've stated! And even now, many of those points are still relevant. > even if you inspire someone else to pur

Hey thanks for the reply and insights. FYI I did link my vision with a footnote at the bottom of the post. It's a long read, that's why I didn't just state it outright.

This is awesome stuff! Thanks for recommending The Great Discontent, looks interesting and a good model to base on. Interview via email, I'm so glad to know people do this! Slack/Discord makes sense too, prob something I can ask t

This is great! So happy to hear that it's possible to do written interviews, because that's definitely the most comfortable format for me, at least for now. And it's so much easier to execute. No visual audio set up, no editt

Thank you so so much for all this. Thank you for sharing your story. I have much to learn. Really glad we were able to have this conversation. :)

I've been doing this for a while now, and it's gotten me so much further intellectually than I ever have before when I used to learn linearly. So I'm glad you agree. I do like your point about prioritisation. I definitely nee

I never really liked podcasts to be honest. Have you got any advice on doing good interviews? Or know of people who do it well? EDIT: Also, do people do written interviews? As in, they never actually speak to one another, but just pass ques

Thanks for the thoughtful response! Yes I do write, in fact it's my main intellectual activity nowadays. Like you said, it's great for making sense of our thoughts. I know of Zettel but have been worried I'll get carried away

This is really great stuff!! I am both fascinated by and concerned for the way technology is influencing society and vice versa. The complexity of these interactions and their far reaching implications, I'm surprised how little people

I've definitely had my share of childhood trauma. I've worked my ass off the past 10+ years growing through it. I'm at a much better place now than I used to be. But probably still some stubborn ones leftover. I don't th

I'm guessing it's all very context dependent. And Black Mirror was probably one end of the spectrum. I think I'd much rather smalltalk with my colleagues than with people in the corporate world, or back in the suburds where I

Thank you for your thoughtful response! Lots of insights here! Re your edit: Yeah based on all the replies so far I think I must've given the wrong impression in my original post. Too much emotion, makes it hard to interpret reality. I

Yeah I wanted to be a dev many years ago, that's how I got to know PG/YC/HN. But life took a turn, and I don't regret it actually, I like where things are heading. :) To be honest, many people I work with are pretty nerd
