It would be nice if the website had more information about the platform before you create an account.

Fixed! Check out the website it shows content now, no landing page anymore

Much better now, thanks!
I would describe the website as “twitter for developers and uses your GitHub account for auth”. It’s a simple concept, but I think using your GitHub account to sign in is a great idea and a meaningful differentiator. Good luck!

"twitter for developers and uses your GitHub account for auth"
No good developer would introduce such a security risk for novelty.

GitHub? You mean that complete, usually offliney, mess Microsoft dig a grave for? Not sure if that's a good idea in 2026

Does this excuse the main page missing any information what this thing even is? Come on.

So not at all ready to be seen? Maybe we should all flag this so it can re-appear once someone spent at least a bit of time on making it proper and ready for public consumption?
