🦿 Lucian Marin I want to create a chat based app that works exactly like IRC. Slack, but public. Reddit, but no threads. Sublevel, but not social. Convore was the closest thing to this, but I'm not sure why they give up.

😀 Tom I've been waiting for months to get a burger at a particular resturant. Today I finally had an excuse to go. After I placed my order and waited a bit, I found out the kitchen had a fire while making my order and the kitchen was closed for the rest of the evening :-( Here's to waiting another month or so :-/

😀 Tom I'm conflicted. When I move back to Texas soon, I want to devote time to work on personal projects, but I also want to get involved with volunteering (Scouts). I feel like I can only choose one if I really want to dedicate myself to it. This is going to be on top of work which already has a hectic schedule.

🤔 John Hey, I've been watching for updates! Hadn't seen that the alpha was up. Looks great so far!

🦿 Lucian Marin Implementation is key, not ideas. I really liked a lot of social networks at first, but once they grown the experience suffered.

🤔 John AFAIK you're the only one of us who's actually created a social network! I've been kicking around some high level ideas in terms of network interaction, but I'm not interested (or capable if I'm honest) of building my own. I'm mostly curious if the people here, who lean more technical than my Twitter feed, are thinking about the same kinds of limitations in existing social nets.

🦿 Lucian Marin I wish I didn't delete it from App Store in the first place. I didn't know it will be almost impossible to get it back. But there's a chance you can get it back using Purchased option from App Store.

🤔 John Logged back in here, and wishing I hadn't deleted the app. How's it going folks?

🤔 John So, there's a lot of talk on here about social networks, especially since sub level is an experimental social network with a modest community of quality users. I know some of you have talked about or are working on your own network. I agree that existing networks have evolved in ways I'm not happy with. What can we do differently? What could separate your network (or the next alternative network) from the existing ones? What problems are they and aren't they solving?

😀 Tom Damn emotions... New journal list I'm starting: "Things that make me cry."

🦿 Lucian Marin Every product or service sees changes, but the core of Sublevel remained the same. I won't introduce any new product features, just polish how it works today.

🦿 Lucian Marin I'm not giving up on Sublevel even if I'm the only user. I think it's gonna be great since web tech will evolve and I'll adopt everything that works. Let's see if I can bring editing...

😀 Tom Comment on reddit: "Most people don't want to have a million dollars. Most people want to spend a million dollars. That's why most people will never have a million dollars."
