Show HN: textlog – A quiet, text-only microblogging platform, open-source, no JS
textlog is a new open-source, text-only microblogging platform that avoids engagement-driven design. It limits posts to 280 characters and focuses on simple, chronological communication.
Why it matters
The platform represents a growing trend of 'slow web' alternatives that prioritize user well-being over algorithmic engagement.
textlog is a simple social text log: write short notes, follow people and hashtags, and join conversations without turning every thought into a performance.
Notes are limited to 280 characters. The constraint keeps them quick to write and read, making room for one thought at a time.
