Since everyone is pushing their idea of a social media app with some form of constrain. I think only pen would be pretty sweet. It's slow, it's difficult, it's annoying to edit, yet it's also more personal, and you can draw as well.
I think it's a really cool idea. I signed up because I had a brain fart and thought that "EST" was "European Standard Time" (I was of course thinking of CET). So yeah, the current window wouldn't work for me, but that's fine. Everything doesn't have to be for everyone. We all live in our bubbles anyway; creating artificial rules could actually be ways of creating new, unexpected interactions. This being said – if you…
I wish someone made a social media site that has no news feed or any feed, like the facebook of old. Only get notifications and updates from actual people who you have friended. I genuinely think this would be popular, it wouldn't drive the engagement that the feeds and algos do but it would be a more wholesome experience the one we all bought into at the dawn of the social network, only for our friends to be swapped…
what would It do, that WhatsApp currently doesn't ?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You could also just use a different time zone each day.
Yeah. There are many fun experiments one could do. Now I got this idea instead: what if it opened up on 07:39 PM on January 1st, but then the window moved forward 3 minutes and 56.7 seconds each day so that it was back on 07:39 PM a year later. That sounds like it would be extremely useless, but fun.

An isolated subdomain for each timezone, with no way to interact between them, cet.seven39, est.seven39, etc.

The "health food" of social media will be a product category where there will be market share to capture and whoever gets it right will be rewarded. Those users, like the health nuts of today, will know what there are looking for.

As a european user, i think you should use the IP address of the user to determin the time zone and have an opening time for every time zone!
For the love of all that's holy, never ever ever use the user's IP address to determine their locale, language preferences or anything similar. It works for the majority of the users and is an absolute nightmare for the rest. Can't even begin to count the times a site has thought I'm from some random country and then switched languages, leaving me to look for the language picker that's hidden somewhere in the page fo…
