    If you just make it public it wouldn’t be an announcement, and it wouldn’t have the irreplaceable first impression effect that you fear, because the only people who will see it are the very curious ones like I am.

    At least explain to us what it’s all about if you won’t post it. I would love to know and see if I would be interested in contributing!

      Perhaps you’re right, but this is what I’m most comfortable with.

      The vision (which is also still WIP) right now is a platform that combines the features of Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Something that can interface with all existing fediverse services and handle all kinds of media (posts, discussions, microblogs, pictures, videos, anything, you name it). Ideally it should also be a place where you can bring your friends list and maybe even have a personal (non-anonymous) user. Imagine something that can replace Facebook, Twitter and Reddit all in one fell swoop. That’s the general idea.

      Now, that’s just the idea but a lot of it depends on execution. If you’re truly interested, I’d love to talk more on Matrix to see if there’s some shared alignment. Obviously I have a certain vision for the project so there needs to be some shared understanding of the direction. Technology-wise, the backend is Rust and the (very WIP) frontend is TypeScript/SvelteKit. But non-technical contribution can be valuable too.
