Hey HN, I have been working on this for years and the final product is finally done.

We did a tiny bit of work to rush it out the door in the wake of 'alternative social network' hype, sure. However, we are extremely proud of what we have created, and do truly believe that our system could foster a better environment for thoughtful discussion going forward.

Our team is monitoring this thread and would love to hear any feedback possible.

With love, H

I thought this was something from the pylons project(1). The naming collision is unfortunate.

Quite unfortunate, I haven't seen this before but I will be giving it a look.

Our original name 2 years ago was Nexus, but we couldn't get any domain we liked regardless of contacting squatters for years. Oh well.

Hopefully a modern solution to DNS comes knocking sometime soon.

Looking neat, nice work!

What tech stack are you running on the backend?
