I built this site as a quick test if a time boxed social media experience feels better than an endless one. So far I've just been using it with friends and it feels nice, but it seems like it is time to bring it to a larger audience.

Let me know what you think! It is just based on EST for now, sorry.

When I lost my job the local unemployment office website would “close” outside of real world office hours.

I thought that was annoying but also amusing.

I do really like this idea.

If anything I want more limited, but also more genuine social media.

My college's class scheduling website also had hours of operation. One of the rumors was that it would stop students from drunkenly dropping all of their classes, but the real truth was that it was based on an old system that needed to process things overnight and they couldn't get funding to modernize it. This was UMD -- it was notorious when I was there for being annoying but still cracks me up.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I do think it could have some cool dynamics but that is what I'm testing right now.
