In plain words
Slow Social is a social network launched in 2022 that emphasizes connection among friends rather than influencer culture.

From the sources
Let the memes, hot takes, and transient updates live somewhere else, this is a space where friends can share what’s going on in their lives without having to distill it down to bite sized information. Slow Social was founded to create a space for people who want more connection, not attention, when using a social app. While many existing social apps ask “How do we retain the users attention?” we ask “How can we help facilitate friendships?” Read more about the creation of Slow Social in this blogfrom slowsocial.us

Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams.

After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor.
