Could you make the login form’s email field have type=“email”? Helps on mobile.
Good idea! I changed it!

Jesus dude, who crapped in your Cheerios this morning?
haha, wish I could see the comment you're responding to.
> I bet you will get a job too. The same way that Hollywood is simply making remakes and people are accepting this as new.
A Nuclear bomb would be nice right about now. Covid was not enough humble pie

for it to be legitimate you need to use ColdFusion and then do a half assed port to .net.
I was at a CF conference with MySpace as a speaker and they talked about how often they went down but that they were switching to another CF engine with .net capabilities (BlueDragon). Their discussions and jokes about instability and going down due to bad code updates were really cringy and gave the impression that their platform was a mess.
Pretty certain we were at the same conference. There development practices horrified the group I was with in the audience. At a time that a new competitor appeared (Facebook) they made the fatal mistake of rewriting their software in dot Net. No new features for a year or more. Joel Spolsky wrote a pretty famous essay about the wisdom of doing that.

#106Good idea. I think there’s a lot of room for some kind of internet social network that gives you a space for a custom profile, chatting with friends about anything, no algorithms dictating what you see, no heavy handed moderation, etc. wish you success
I live and breathe on the internet and have never been moderated once, even freely expressing myself, insulting people who deserve it, etc. My point here is that if you think the current social media options have "heavy handed" moderation, you're probably the problem, not them.
You're probably being downvoted for your comment. Does that make you the problem?

#107Totally loving this. Did you reverse engineer the layouts from screenshots? Please tell me somewhere there is a snippet of original HTML snarfed from archive.org :) Finally you're totally missing a beat here -- MySpace lived and died by its community of indie bands. Ditch that dodgy mainstream iTunes Music wrapper and make the actual music function work again. You never know, you might strike a nostalgic retro chord…
Hey, I'm An, the creator of SpaceHey! Thank you!! Yes, I looked at a ton of old screenshots, wikipedia sites and archive.org pages! That's how I designed most of it! I'm currently looking into all of the legal stuff which comes with music sharing, but a dedicated music feature is definitely planned! The iTunes API is just a temporary thing to fill it with some content!
How about the Dragon Hoard? Files are hosted on Archive.org, and have been for a year and a half without being taken down.

#108Nice you can add a tag to your profile!
Please consider making the default colors/fonts CSS variables in the :root so that they can be easily overridden for profile page styling.

That just means your views are not very controversial (most people’s aren’t). The argument you’re making is just a different face of the “I have nothing to hide” in the privacy debates.
I have controversial views (the EM Drive works! Sport is the opiate of the masses!) but I seem to get along just fine on social media. It’s really only the people who have boring, discredited political views who have problems.
> I have controversial views
This is nowhere controversial.
Try to be a constitutional originalist in the Sillicon Valley / tech sites, and we'll continue this conversation...

#110Maybe weird feedback but the COVID-19 Pandemic section on the front page really kills both the retro vibe and the idea that this might be something unique rather than yet another way for me to consume standard news.
I'm with you. Lose the covid. Can find it anywhere else.
