just built a new social project that’s a mix of chat/content aggregator and looking for some ppl to check it out and give feedback.

I really appreciate it! goals are fast, open, and frictionless discussion on news/whatever else w/no bs.

how/why: I wasn't satisfied with the options for engaging people and having meaningful *realtime conversations online, particularly around news. Most platforms are walled gardens, heavily moderated, not based on chat, or targeted at gamers etc.

The premise is simple, post a sqwok (like a tweet can be all text or if it includes a link it will parse it), then share the url with anyone and have instant discussion.

e.g. https://sqwok.im/p/Q_6WA_p6LvOfpA

thanks!

Pretty great, but could you add notifications to when you have more comments on your posts?

yes definitely! I plan to add notifications soon... I assume you would want to be notified right away when activity happens, then maybe not again for a period of time so as not to get spammed?
