Show HN: textlog, a 280-Character Microblog With No JavaScript and No Engagement Mechanics
textlog / Hacker News·low signal
textlog is a text-only social log built by @stagas where notes cap at 280 characters, there is no JavaScript, and the stated design goal is conversation 'without turning every thought into a performance' — explicitly no engagement tricks and no pressure to build an audience. Accounts are free, profiles and notes are public, and users can export or delete their data. It reached 174 points and 71 comments on HN, the day's second-highest Show HN, which is the signal worth noting: the anti-engagement, no-JS position is drawing more practitioner interest than most tooling launches.
