Hello, HN. I'm a long-time lurker here and this is my first Show HN (be gentle).<p>I created Glue which is best described as "Twitter meets Tumblr meets Medium" which is longer than just saying another Twitter alternative but IMO not 100% accurate. I launched Glue in mid '21 and have been slowly iterating on it since.<p>Glue lets you share text, photos, video, audio, code snippets, quotes or break out into a long-form blog post. Posts on Glue are called "Drops".<p>Glue in action:<p>- My profile: https://glue.im/noah<p>- Audio: https://glue.im/shpigford/30482820740681729<p>- Code snippet: https://glue.im/noah/99641696463097857<p>- Blog Drop https://glue.im/glue/share-quotes-and-code-snippets<p>- Quote: https://glue.im/noah/241292351245389825<p>What makes it different from others?<p>- Trying to keep the UI simple and clean<p>- Use your own domain (ex: https://blog.ark.fm)<p>- Clean urls for long-form blog Drops (see above)<p>- Working on an API model that works for us and developers long-term<p>Glue doesn't have mobile apps yet, I think that's the biggest missing piece at the moment.<p>Feedback appreciated
Noah, sorry you're seeing lack of response here. The UI is nice, but I think the hardest problem is network effects and handling of scale. I was wondering, can't you bring your experience and input to one of the existing efforts like BlueSky, or Mastodon clients, and so on, so people see everyone is gathering around one of the solutions and can feel confident moving themselves?<p>In the current situation, more fragmentation only makes Twitter stronger.
