#12Very cool but I would like to be able to create an account with my mail address instead of using a Mastodon account because I am trying to avoid social media.
I'm curios why you are avoiding social media?

#13Ah, this reminds me of StumbleUpon.

You can find the criteria in the FAQ: https://bubbles.town/faq#sources

I'm curious: What software is driving this? Is it a re-skin of the lobste.rs or HN open source software, or is it its own thing? EDIT: ...just realized that's in the FAQ. > Is it open source? > Not yet. Maybe someday.
It runs on Go + sqlite on a Hetzner machine, built from scratch, not a re-skin.
Clearly inspired by HN, there are few sites where I have to zoom in to get any kind of readability ;)

#17I think the links should open in the same window (like they do here on HN) instead of in a new tab/window. If I want a separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers don't have the reverse option for opening in the same window.
nope, I prefer open in new tab by default
In general, it's better not to force an action onto users. You might prefer things opening in a new tab, but you always have that option. If it's forced on users, it is frustrating for those who would prefer that not to happen.

Is that something you're frequently accused of, or why the "disclaimer"?

That's a good user setting, but as opening in the same tab is the default browser behaviour then it should really stay that way. Opening in a new tab takes control away from the user.

#20Just curious but isn't this just digg, metafilter?
