Show HN: A social network that lets you own your data

5 pointsby nikhildahakeabout 5 years ago
I created Timelines so that people could have ownership over their data while posting on social media. Timelines stores your data in a specific folder on your Google Drive which is sandboxed from all your other data on Google drive.<p>Do try it out. Hoping to get some useful feedback. Thanks!<p>Product: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.timelines.co<p>My public timeline: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.timelines.co&#x2F;nikhildahake

Great idea, but I wouldn&#x27;t trust Google. How about using a DAT protocol service and just making it secure P2P? That&#x27;s all I want. Get rid of all these censoring spying online services and let the people talk to each other and give permission only to those they want without anyone playing thought police&#x2F;stasi.

The problem would be most of the general public doesn&#x27;t care. As such won&#x27;t spend the time to put in info.<p>Narrow the focus to a certain group maybe?<p>Also no where on this page does it tell me how my data stays private. Why should people trust this site?
