Sendie – A Twitter Alternative
I have been building a twitter alternative. The central core features are in place. Running on postgres with uuid6 ID's seems to have turned out really nicely for this data type. It's got the feed and reposts and following users and all the main things that are central to a twitter-like feed. Still pretty rough around the edges. I'm still finding little off quirks all the time to clean up. It's been a fun project though and I plan to continue working on this as I have about a dozen ideas I want to add to it.

In plain words
Sendie is a Twitter alternative with core social features including feeds, reposts, and user following. Built on PostgreSQL with UUID6 IDs, it provides the central functionality of a Twitter-like platform. The product is still in early stages with rough edges and ongoing bug fixes, but the creator plans continued development with additional features in the pipeline.

ChatGPT▲1,643A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
