Hello, I do not know if someone from Daft is reading this thread, but you should not use contiguous ids https://daftsocial.com/daftsocial/?id=201

Doesn't that just help with discovery? That doesn't seem like a bad practice here.

I'm sure they're not really overly concerned about security, but email addresses get logged everywhere on the Internet. Accounts would be pretty easy to hijack. Maybe that makes it more fun though.

I personally love low-security social networks. I consider HN to qualify (as you just need a username and password, no email verification).

Small social networks can get away with it b/c they aren't big enough targets for abusers.

I doubt this will go anywhere, but I still enjoyed reading it. The really clever part for me is the way it uses email to do most of the work. In particular:

> Q: What if I lose my secret Daft Social email address?

> A: If you already sent posts, you should find it in the sent emails folder.

Brilliant.
