Frontend issues aside.

Is a interesting model to me. I think the next generation social network will have to come up with clever rules to foster discussion like this.

What stack are you using?

Thank you for the feedback! We will work on that over the weekend. I understand that it is an issue not being able to format the text.

Why would you not even bother getting basic functionality working before showing it to everyone?

Show HN can be used to show a work-in-progress. There's no expectation for the projects to be bug-free.

I have always assumed that people like to use at least most of their screen's real estate if not all - what is your reason for liking narrow windows (especially considering that I think even nowadays on most of the web the experience would be degraded)

We wanted to make something where people can come and "shout" immediately. We will improve this design over time. Thank you for your concerns.

For some reason this site has gone out of its way to make reading more difficult by removing scroll momentum. As a result it takes quite a lot of effort just to read a few of these.

chuck signup all together, u'll get more engagement. Signup is a hassle.

This will lead to a lower risk for people shouting their actual feelings on the platform. Also I feel like something like this is direly needed with big tech starting to become "regulated" and breeding an atmosphere of censorship and "like farming". On the other hand, this could also allow for people to easily spread hate and zeal for or about things that will cause more negativity and suffering.

I assumed this would be more personal. People expressing anger, depression, etc. This seems to be rants about things they find mildly annoying. Not sure if the site wants or will encourage/enforce one or the others.

Multitasking. Watching videos, writing something up, having another website open, messaging, Skype, or anything else you can think of while browsing. Having two windows open side by side isn't abnormal and is one of the main reasons why window managers even exist instead of desktops using a mobile-like UI paradigm where you can only have one program on the screen at a time.

Counter question: why would you want something as one-dimensional as a website (especially the OP) taking up all of your screen real estate?
