I like the concept and the idea. The purely written social media has not been evolving much for quite a few years. The few "alternatives" to twitter and such has been few and most has been forgotten.

Just curious though, why is there a loading indicator that takes for ever? It kinda makes the impression that the platform will suffer performance wise if any kind of audience would grow around it.

We're hearing about lag from our friends in Europe. Also mobile browsers don't respond very well right now. We'll need to address the lag-in-Europe problem, and mobile browsers will become more relevant post pandemic. Thanks for responding! :)

Hi I'm Michael, co-founder of ChatWisely. We used Haskell to build this, and would love to get into the details about how that is working out for us. Spoiler: it's awesome.
