Everything old is new again.

It's just black and white; on and off. It's what makes icons mesmerizing.

How long until the machines are eating their own output

I'm not sure these journalists are doing the homework that will help their readers understand what ChatGPT is. I'll admit I'm just barely coming up to speed with the math and terminal work to understand what's going on.

It's worth it though I'm not scared anymore. It's a tool. wordsmiths are gonna have to find their self worth in other places I think.

The monopoly is the home screen.

Hi y'all

Would love to get your feedback

Install as a web app on your homescreen if you'd like to see it in action. Take some pictures. Realness makes excellent posters in low light.

Maybe I'll post it to show HN

Updated the philosophy docs with your feedback. Thanks again.

Maybe I should rephrase it to "the minimum possible data lives on the server". Because I can make and back that claim up.

phone number, statements, posters, events and that's it. only the pieces required to share.

I use no analytics. and store everything in static files. It all gets brought together on the phone.

Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly the kind of thing i was hoping to learn.

To your point about using google services to build products. I believe that idealogical purity as a false litmus test.

The service doesn't track you. Zero analytics.

Firebase is an excellent tool.

Also some of only have Junior college so typos are gonna be part of the deal.

Boom. pushed your typo catch

Thanks for the typo catch. I often misspell things. You are right that google get's your phone number as part of the authorization. That is all they get.

I need to authorize people somehow. I rejected email as it opens up a service to a profane level of attack vectors.

Phone numbers felt like a natural choice. And I chose firebase auth because I like their admin interface.

Beyond your name and phone number I collect no data other than your posts and your posters. I am the only social network that doesn't know what your relationships are.

Our philosophy is to be the minimal possible social network. Your name. Your phone number. some statements and posters.
