Congrats on the launch! I find the name really nice and i think it has lot of potential for marketability.

Is the goal to have your website/blog only for friends or also for strangers? If its the second I think it would be nice to display "Random site of the day", "Most visited post of the month" and "Most visited page of the month".

This because i think there is people like me who dont write much but likes to read other peoples blogs and would be great for discovery

Thank you! I like the ideas and will think about it. I'm working on a concept for webrings which can be used to discover new sites. They'll work like this:

A webring consists of multiple sites. The oldest one comes first and newer ones get inserted at the end. Visitors can browse their way through all sites by using previous and next buttons. If a site is in multiple rings at once, visitors can hop onto another ring and continue from there. I think it'll be a fun way to discover new sites that doesn't rely on some kind of performance measure like upvotes or views.

In addition to that, every webring will have a feed overview where the latest blog posts of all sites in the ring are listed. I'll have to think about moderation carefully, here.

It's really tempting to implement something like upvotes but I think without them it'll be a calmer experience. I also didn't implement analytics yet (IP addresses are not tracked).

Thanks for your comment!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

is this innocuous or does it have hints of child abuse like the whole loli anime scene?

Innocuous. Saba streams on YouTube; any NSFW content would get age-restricted or taken down. There's nothing immoral about a 20-something woman finding an audience streaming with a cute, petite anime cat girl avatar. (Or maybe 30-something, I have no idea her real age.) You should be able to stream with an anime character of any body type you want, especially if it's your original character and you commission the art…

I guess? It's a little concerning when older men are fawning over a girl presenting her self as an overly young cutesey type. There's a reason the anime characters are always young girls and the audience older men
