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.

I've actually been thinking about this concept for a while now! I miss the old days when social networking was actually social and was wondering if placing restrictions like this one can actually make it fun again.

Some other restrictions I think can work:

* No more than 1 post per day

* No more than 500 friends

* No followers

* No public posts

* No posting links

* No commercial pages

What's a follower when there are no public posts?
