FourthSpace – Bridging Social Media with Your Social Life
Hello I’m Aditya. Me and my co-founder are on a mission to eradicate social media addiction and loneliness off the earth. There’s no reason for us to turn to digital companions of any kind, or be in social isolation, when we can and should be having direct discussions with each other everyday. We're building FourthSpace as a solution to these issues. One of the biggest problems many people are dealing with right now which is preventing them from hanging out with others is the cost of going out, buying drinks, transportation, etc. We've built a beta version of a feature to solve this. If you…

I built an active community of trans people online2025 · t4t.social · ▲484A year ago I surveyed the internet and noticed there was only one popular space for trans and gender-non-conforming people to meet; Lex. Lex is not well liked by its users. Its software feels heavy and it is full of cash grabs and anti-patterns. It was recently acquired and is sure to only become more hostile to its users as it turns towards profit generation. With this in mind I built t4t, an alternative specially designed for not only queer people, but specifically trans people. It is an extremely lightweight service. I built it with my most ideal stack: Flutter, Svelte, Supabase, Posthog.…
- CSCurrent social media platforms are abusing us2023 · ▲7
Hi HN, over the years of using the social media (Instagram, Pinterest, etc..), I’m quite weary of the trend that people tend to polish their content so well and post the perfect aspect of their lives. I feel like that I’m not one of them, and anything I post will be either not so polished to fit the “magazine” style of the community or so insignificant for anyone else to care about. Scrolling in those apps more and more and seeing more and more perfect lives, I feel like I was abused by those platforms and made me anxious about myself. I want an online space that can give my voice back,…
- WDWhat do you think of my new social app?2022 · oncircles.com · ▲76
Hey there, First time posting on Hacker News in about 2 years! The reason I’m posting is that I thought I’d write about the product I’ve been building, in hopes it resonates with people. Why build yet another social app? Because I deleted almost all social media around 3/4 years ago as it was just net negative on my life. There was very little that was truly interesting, I didn’t care about looking good to other people and because of the ‘media’ and ads, the apps were all designed to make me spend too much time for what I was getting. I hated it and what it meant for people’s behaviour,…

I made a laptop stand out of solid concrete, in the style of brutalist architecture, with themes of urbex and urban decay

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
