In terms of 'onboarding' or 'going-to-market', this approach was something I had considered. However, the hassle along some of my prior experiences in similar user workflows did deter me from following through.

If you're an archivist sort of individual, I imagine this would definitely not be your cup of tea. For what it's worth though, If you're the poster of the thought, the post along with responses are available to you forever. T

whoops, will look into why that is and fix! thanks for pointing it out! wrt to scaling, you're right. The idea is definitely for people/communities to start their own interest-based gardens. The 'community garden' is jus

I agree with you, my titling was unintentionally misleading from a fair few points of view and I apologize. I wasn't specifically trying to solve for 'digital identity' thus email wasn't something I was problematizing wi

I agree with you, the title was definitely be one of my lesser moments. Apologies if it annoyed you! You're title suggestion was what it should have been. Will do better going forward! Also, I get where you're coming from about th

+1 to this! There's no friends, though, just members of individual gardens. But everything else is spot on haha! I appreciate you, bbbor! :)

I see where you're coming from. However, the slight shift, I think, is that nothing lasts forever or changes about the individual in an 'on-platform' way. You can't discern posts by users who came yesterday from a year a

hey, I'm glad you like it! wrt birthdays and emails: date of birth is important to ensure no one under 18 can theoretically access the site. Emails are also just a far more common and straightforward way to index users and also maintai

Thank you! I agree the specific approach is slightly rigid but I'm not specifically big on millions of users, if that makes sense. The tiniest sliver of chill people would be delightful all the same haha :)

I see where you're coming from. The design is definitely opinionated. A long term plan I do have is to have users be able to customise their 'gardens' to whatever their own community's vibe is. Perhaps a 'moonscape&

I definitely see where you're coming from. Personally, I find the metaphor interesting insofar as that there isn't a 'linearity' of threads. One of my personal peeves with HN/reddit/discord/forums which I&

I agree with this. A sneak peek feature or some other implementation could definitely make the UX more 'effective'.

i imagine a possible solution to this problem would be to hover over a seed to sneak a peek on desktop and perhaps long pressing on mobile. long press obviously doesn't seem like the best solution but I will give this more thought. Tha
