#2Hello!
Excited to share the public version of HuggyList, a faster alternative to blogging.
I believe blogging is the best solution to share deep content but it is very time consuming and restricted to people with good writing skills.
Now, you can discover and share content in simple bullet points on HuggyList.
How it works: 1) Start a list 2) Decide whether the list is public or not (who can add items?) 3) Add bullet points (or items) as you go
Looking forward to your feedback!

#3This is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing. There's a few inconsistencies with your layout. On desktop, it (mostly) forces phone view, but when I went to add my list, for instance, the submit button stretched my entire window.

Also, the back button (top left) has some weird behavior. After adding a list and adding some things to the list, I tried to use the back arrow to go to the huggylist home and it instead took me back to the new list form.

#5I can click on other people's bios to open the edit dialog. I shouldn't be able to do that, even if my edit does nothing. :-)

Yes I focused only on mobile so far. Will have to adjust the submit button. Desktop will come pretty soon.
Did you enjoy going through the content? I was thinking about producing much more so you can learn some exciting stuff without reading lengthly posts.

Yes? Very few posts actually contain more information than the little blurb... which makes it feel more like a curated Twitter hashtag than an actual blog, but that's not on you. That will come from people using it.
The similarity between the layout and twitter made a few things confusing: I tried clicking on a username to go to that user's profile and was instead directed to the list. This behavior is fine, but I think because the UI is so familiar, I wanted it to behave in a familiar way.

Good point, I should definitely adjust the UI so it feels familiar.
My goal is to keep the posts as lists of bullet points (keep it short). Too much text would not solve the problem of not having enough time to digest content. I was even thinking of limiting the number of characters like Twitter did.
Is it even different than Twitter? Yes, the content is structured and evergreen knowledge. What are your thoughts?
