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.

Yeah I have thought about websites having "business hours" also. So support staff don't have to worry about getting a call or text message at 0200 that something isn't working... just fix it in the morning.

IIRC it's because the owners are Jewish and observing the Sabbath. I grew up in an area with a lot of observant christians who refused to work on Sunday but forced employees to (unless you belonged to their church of course). So making a rule in contrast that what's good enough for me is good enough for my employees is preferable if you ask me!
