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.

The US social security administration site did (and still might) do this as well.

Likely to enable batch processing in the evening without dealing with sync issues

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

One day we'll have the manpower and brains to figure out how to just have out of hour entries added to the next day's batch.
