Earlier quoted context omitted.

It runs on Go + sqlite on a Hetzner machine, built from scratch, not a re-skin.

> not a re-skin Is that something you're frequently accused of, or why the "disclaimer"?

The comment they were replying to specifically asked if it was a re-skin.

Ah yes of course, finally paid the price of reading comments in isolation. Thanks and sorry :)

Not really, I just picked it up from the initial question from stakhanov.

They were directly answering the post above which asked if it's a re-skin.

Very 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?

Mostly because the "damn this is interesting" to "i don't care what you ate yesterday" ratio is not good enough to spend my time on it. These days I am much more enjoying exploring gopher holes, reading and writing blog posts. For realtime communications, I prefer IRC. For me, social media sits in between chatting and publishing content and is therefore neither fish nor fowl.

nope, I prefer open in new tab by default

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.

Next they’ll be defending full screen div paywalls.

I’ve been perusing Bubbles increasingly often since discovering that my blog is syndicated there, a few weeks ago.

It feels really refreshing compared to doomscrolling of social media, or indeed even to HN. It’s so diverse and humane. The indie blogosphere is coming to life.

Kudos to the author. A great idea, splendidly executed. I hope it grows and doesn’t change much.

+1 to this. Apple sign-in would be ideal, since it maps to single-identity more cleanly than a social media system.
