Don't takes this as excessively negative, but -<p>> No JavaScript. Sublevel works with JavaScript disabled.<p>Flipside is that it doesn't support any nice JavaScript features such as live updating...<p>> Sublevel is using design hacks to improve performance.<p>Huh?<p>> Different than Twitter. Sublevel is not a clone of Twitter like App.net neither trying to reinvent the wheel. There's no character limit, Sublevel is limited by design only.<p>Is "Twitter with threading and no character limit" so much less cloney than "Twitter with a higher character limit, and theoretically a common platform for different apps and use cases"?<p>> No API. Sublevel doesn't need an API, just better web browsers. Instead of an API, Sublevel will try to have an open database.<p>What's the difference between an open database and an API?<p>In response to "better web browsers", why should I have to use the UI you designed, rather than having a number of options to choose from, depending on taste? Even Twitter, as much as it's cracked down on them in recent years, still has a large selection of clients for different browsers.
