Turn's out I may have left some fields unprotected from xss worm attacks a la Samy. This meant that there were particularly virulent posts and comments. I replaced all malicious content with a emoji for now. I won't ban anyone yet since the attacks were mostly my fault. Sorry for everyone that lost their posts, but the vulnerability should be corrected now. Shame on me. PD: img tags will be sanitized until further notice. for now you'll need to use ![alttext](img_url) The gist 1. You can only have a single post 2. You can update your post 3. People can follow other posts 4. You can read your followed posts' latest updates 5. You can upvote posts 6. You can find trending posts (depends on upvotes and last time updated) 7. There are also comments Why? There are plenty of reasons, and they range from why I made a site, to what I want this site to be. But first, let's dig into why you would want to have a single post. Why a single post? Modern social media is great. You can satisfy dopamine cravings like never before. Videos of derpy cats and dogs are just a few taps away. Same with the opinions of celebrities you like. You don't even need to tap anymore! Just Let the endless TikTok wall fill your dopamine tank... But sometimes I don't want dopamine, I want to consume content with meaning. I want to read into other people's mind like I can do when reading Paul Graham's essays. But those are hard to get by, and a bit harder to set up for non-tech people. There's twitter (and mastodon), yes. its product isn't fit for meaningful writing. It's meant to match short written content with that dopamine hit we all crave. Blogging websites also exist but there's just too much noise. But I do agree with the microblogging site's idea that limits foster creativity and communication. In their case, the character limit fosters quick and effective idea-sharing, and that's great. But here I want to foster noise-free and meaningful content. The solution: A single post where you have to be thoughtful about what you write. It's the only thing people will read from you. Of course, you may want to edit everything later and change the post completely, but that's the point: you are encouraged to write whatever you think is meaningful enough to share at the moment. And for that, you need easy and full control over what you're currently sharing. That's what I want this site to be. So the TLDR here is... * Less noise * Thoughtful content * Control what people see of you Why I made this site These are more personal growth reasons. And I might write them down here later on. But I think the focus now should be on Pressn't mission. TODO * Fix dark mode css * Fix mobile css * Ask a friend to pentest the site * Use a CDN * Investigate ranking algorithms Comments 12 Please log in to leave a comment.
