    On harassment, I did give it some thought and reached a position of the friends system along with the temporary nature of the messages would hopefully mitigate the issue. Friends do have to accept a friend request.

    The inclusion of messages was born out of my friction with group chats, and hoping to streamline the communication related to meeting up. Again, all the public messages are temporary, and the server gets cleaned up weekly. That isn’t to say that having messages is THE way, but it did feel somewhat natural to include.

    As for future planning, I think you can of course still make arrangements directly with people, but sometimes I don’t particularly care who my company is going to be, I’m just trying to cast a wide net to get some socialization in my life.
    For example, I have a standing weekly board game night that’s always needing more players. So I put a block up saying the date and time, we’re playing board games, come join.

    I do think the simultaneous invention of both Collider and Sitch point to a need, but they do almost fill slightly different niches.

    The cold start problem is real. And funnily enough the inspiration for mine was born out of old aol instant messenger away messages, but inverted.

    Wow, it’s kinda crazy how similar in premise this is to the project I posted. Great minds or something

    Last Thursday I had a sudden spark of inspiration while at work, went home to realize I don’t have it in me to make an app from scratch, and decided to try out bolt.new’s AI tools to spin it up.

    I’ve spent the better part of the last week working through issues but think I’ve got most of the kinks worked out. Admittedly, this is still largely a black box that I’m unsure how it functions exactly, but it’s only logging an email so I feel it’s low stakes.

    So now for the idea: what if you could post a status that shows you’re available to socialize so that friends, families, groups, social circles in general could see that status and have less friction to reach out? Or maybe even post a block of time that you’ll be available in the next couple of weeks, so that others that may be available at the same time cools reach out and coordinate a group hang.

    That’s the basic premise behind Sitch

    Add friends, quickly post a status that automatically expires after a set time, and allow the connections to flow more naturally/passively.

    Admittedly, it may never take off because who needs another social app? I truly just wish this functionality existed so I could utilize it myself.

    I am also open to hearing a critique of the methods used to make this project, I’m certainly not pro AI generally, but it was interesting/cool to be able to take an idea and manifest something so quickly.

    I greatly appreciate anyone willing to try it out, provide feedback, even share it with your circle of you find it valuable

    Thank you

    I will die on this hill, because I can’t understand why, rather than move an hour twice a year, we couldn’t put it halfway (half an hour) in between and call it a day.

    I think the search term you want is “air mouse.” I have a couple but the quality isn’t something that would lead me to recommend either.

    This came across my radar the other day and talks about metamodernism in terms of the film industry. It was my introduction to the term metamodernism and it made sense to me

    Having mulled this question over previously, my go to answer is The Princess Bride. In my head cannon I have notions of who would play each role, but I'll leave that exercise up to your imagination.

    Disagree wholeheartedly. The show was forced to evolve as characters started to leave, but the writing for the final two seasons is stronger despite that. Season 5 is consistently hilarious and the additions of Paget Brewster and Keith David in Season 6 led to some of the funniest moments of the show.

    I am cautiously optimistic about the movie as I don't think Dan Harmon would do it unless there was a story to tell (as he's said in the past).

    The Before trilogy, The Darjeeling Limited, Samsara are some that immediately come to mind, I'm sure there's plenty of others I can't think of this moment.
