Are we all eventually landing on main here? Wondering if each post will count towards Github commit count?
Posts here aren’t actually git commits (as cool as that would be), it’s a database-driven social network that uses the language of git to appeal to developers.
I was only reminiscing last weekend that nascent Twitter was a little bolthole for "web designers", as we were known at the time. This nascent network has very similar vibes. When Jonathan Ross joins, it's really gonna take off in the UK.
