Show HN: Dweets.com – Microblogging for Devs

by raymondmoay on 9/7/23, 12:01 PM with 11 comments

Built this to microblog everything I am learning as a dev. It's an MVP, lots to improve on! Would love some feedback. (:

Also am looking for a job (preferably remote since I'm in SG), 1.5 years in as a Jr Dev at a local startup, self-taught by building stuff. I'll be on Twitter if you're interested! @raymondmoay

    These are called dweets too

    https://www.dwitter.net

    Feedback

    I really like UI-- it's very clean. I think it is unlikely that someone would use this as their main driver tweeting only for developers. Maybe, you should find a way where a dweet also reposts on to Twitter or reddit communities.

    Maybe also an ability to refer users to the site would be cool.

    You should eat you own food. Be on Dweet, not Twitter! :) Joke aside, I like it! Things I would like:

    1. Slightly more compact interface.

    2. If I click/tap a comment bubble, and not signed in, let me see the comment.

    3. Maybe enforce setting an avatar?

    Is it just me who thinks it is a lousy name? "Rude Dog and the Dweebs"

    I would probably throw it into my RSS reader… if there were any feed.

    Does this integrate with Twitter or what? Other than using their oauth

    Dweets will always be the dweets on dwitter …

    Very nice.

    UI request: space bar = page down.
