    i'm experiencing a weird scenario. all time is asking me for a magic link :( I click on that link and again the same screen, ask for a magic link (said the old one expired). It may be our mimecast blocking something?

      Uhm maybe your client visits the magic link eagerly and when you visit it manually it's already been used?

    I like this project. Simple, open-source, nice UI.

    Yes! I've always said twitter was better before images/multimedia!

    I really like this approach. I wonder if it needs such complexity for the rendering. Could you have built this as a SSG template?

      Hi, thanks! There is a lot of nuance on the rendered pages, I figured server-side React was the best choice - plus it's a technology I'm comfortable with and might also encourage contributions.

        Would you be okay if I directed Claude to leverage your design and build a very simple Hugo template against it for my own personal use?

          Why not, try it :)

    The 280 char limit seems arbitrary, given you cant even keep the about page within that limit: https://textlog.cc/about

    If you are going to limit it to short posts, maybe the length of a short post is the length to limit it to, rather than emulating the 2xSMS of every twitter clone?

    Other than that, it looks really clean and neat - I just dont think being 280 chars adds anything other than resulting in people posting with pagination as per X 1/3.

      It needs to be short - there is already a limit that worked well - why bikeshed it more?

        A limit that worked well for who?

        Almost every twitter/x post submitted to HN has people labelling their posts as "X of Y" threads, using images as text, or using pro account posts.

        You can see it yourself: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=twitter.com Ive just looked at 30 and each of them exceed 280 chars by far.

          It works well for microbloggers.

        I think this is the opposite of bikeshedding, it's literally a core feature and constraint.

    Reminds me of org-social (https://github.com/tanrax/org-social)

    > Notes are limited to 280 characters. The constraint keeps them quick to write and read, making room for one thought at a time.

    No thanks.

      Hi, I'm sorry you don't like the limitation :( this is for short thoughts you want to share, not really huge conversations, there are better places for that IMO.
