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.

Back in the BBS days, SysOps without a second phone line would only have their BBS accept calls at night, after hours. They did this because they used their primary (only) phone line during the day to take and make voice calls. Those BBSes had users but not nearly as many as the people with dedicated BBS phone lines that were open 24 hours. This kinda reminds me of that.
