I like this project. Simple, open-source, nice UI.

Yes! I've always said twitter was better before images/multimedia!

reminds me of https://bearblog.dev/

I really like this approach. I wonder if it needs such complexity for the rendering. Could you have built this as a SSG template?

Reminds me of org-social (https://github.com/tanrax/org-social)

> Notes are limited to 280 characters. The constraint keeps them quick to write and read, making room for one thought at a time.

No thanks.

I built something for a similar goal, make it easy for someone to start their blog. But instead it's a static website, clone the repo, adjust the config.ts, write the posts in markdown, host anywhere: https://starter.bryanhogan.com/

I recently started a section on my personal site for absolutely minimal and simple microblogging that I could Ctrl-F through: https://knlb.dev/scribbles/ -- I should probably give this a shot.

I'm a certified dark mode hater, so in that light, that's a no-go for me: there seems to be no way to change the theme.

The 280 char limit seems arbitrary, given you cant even keep the about page within that limit: https://textlog.cc/about

If you are going to limit it to short posts, maybe the length of a short post is the length to limit it to, rather than emulating the 2xSMS of every twitter clone?

Other than that, it looks really clean and neat - I just dont think being 280 chars adds anything other than resulting in people posting with pagination as per X 1/3.

i'm experiencing a weird scenario. all time is asking me for a magic link :( I click on that link and again the same screen, ask for a magic link (said the old one expired). It may be our mimecast blocking something?
