Congratulations for launching! What is / will be the difference between Littlelogs and Twitter e.x.? What wil make it special?
I currently cannot check it out myself, I'm on the waiting list and don't have access yet, but from what I see it looks like no character limit? Will there be an API to pull down the updates and include them somewhere else, like on the project homepage?<p>small bug report: I tried signing up with this description<p><pre><code> "im currently working on a self hosted CI server (leeroyCI) and a static site generated which will soon get a hosted web interface to make it comfortable."
</code></pre>
And I got s 500 error page. Replacing the description with "-" worked and let me sign up.
I've been keeping journals for all my personal projects for quite some time now because I find it useful to "get context" when I go back to a particular project after some time. So something like this certainly piques my interest.<p>My journal is usually a journal.md at the root of the project, like so: [1]. It has a very simple format: datetime stamp, text. Sometimes I use bullets and indented text, but its usually prose or code.<p>Do you want to consider pulling journal updates directly from people's github as a feature? Of course, my kind of journal is a little too detailed - intended for me to pick up when I get back, but maybe a publicjournal.md which would be the author's ready-for-public-consumption version of the journal?<p>[1]<a href="https://github.com/vinodkd/halo/blob/master/journal.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/vinodkd/halo/blob/master/journal.md</a>
This is a neat. I like the idea and implementation!<p>Reminds me a little of the .plan files from the old Quake days, mixed with twitter / social media.<p><a href="http://floodyberry.com/carmack/plan.html" rel="nofollow">http://floodyberry.com/carmack/plan.html</a><p>I've signed up.

I dig it - I'd like to be able to use twitter for this (I suppose I could, nobody's stopping me) however I find that the twitter platform isn't really conducive to this sort of application - too much noise. A domain-specific tool like this has a place, I think.
In my case it would probably document the <i>lack</i> of progress rather than the progress. It's pretty hard to make steady progress on a number of tasks in parallel, the cost of context switching is huge.
