> Software for chatting on the Internet should be small and fun.
Small and fun is the magic here. There's immense product insight in building a product experience that feels really small, intimate. It's the counterbalance to the unwieldy scale of Big Tech.
We're in the natural cycle of things, I'm just saying I seem to really get the feeling "the future is small", if that makes sense. It's quite stressful to navigate the entire planet's information and inventory.
I feel the same way. I don’t feel the need or desire to be connected to every single person on earth through some app. I left almost all social platforms a couple years ago (except HN).
I got into nostr and feel like it’s almost exactly what I want from social media. Just a reverse chronological feed of the people I follow.
i agree, it's fun because of the people. a product is "not fun" when it impedes on those personal connections. like the obvious thing of injecting ads everywhere, a product doing that, is not fun in my view. it's infuriating
