  I like the concept and the idea. The purely written social media has not been evolving much for quite a few years. The few "alternatives" to twitter and such has been few and most has been forgotten.

  Just curious though, why is there a loading indicator that takes for ever? It kinda makes the impression that the platform will suffer performance wise if any kind of audience would grow around it.

  Hi I'm Michael, co-founder of ChatWisely. We used Haskell to build this, and would love to get into the details about how that is working out for us. Spoiler: it's awesome.
