Itter.sh – Micro-Blogging via Terminal

codingdave•9h ago
I like the idea of having different options for content creation, but I don't understand why "micro-blogging" is still a thing. It originated in message length limitations of texting back when texting was a new thing. Why inject an outdated constraint into a new tool?
import•8h ago
The same reason why people posting stories instead of actual posts. Or you really don’t want to write masterpiece everyday.
thenthenthen•8h ago
Not sure, but stories, threads, etc seem to be a rather top down/dark pattern thats shoved down our throats one doom scroll at a time
konart•8h ago
You can write a 180 characters post\tweet\toot even when there is virtually no limitation.

I think this is what was asked by a parent commenter: why enforce any limit (except for a sane ones) at all?

soap-•8h ago
IMO it makes for better content. I'm not logging in to a microblogging app so I can read thoughtful, longform content, actually it's exactly the opposite.

By enforcing a character limit you only allow a certain type of post to be made

flutetornado•8h ago
I prefer it because it forces distillation to core ideas, consumable quickly. Busy people have too little time to read too much verbiage.
lynndotpy•8h ago
And there is a mutually understood degree of nuance. There is no space to consider every route of uncertainty or qualify every statement. You can say "the Earth is round" instead of "most of us agree that the Earth very very likely exists and is very likely to be round".
konart•8h ago
>IMO it makes for better content.

Sorry but this even sounds wrong. You can write an eternal masterpiece in any form. Short story, a poem, a novel, an anecdote even.

In fact shorter form is more challenging. You have less room for a mistake. And lets be honest: most people are terrible writers|composers|painters etc.

This is one of the reasons you see threads and services that can present you threads in a more convenient form.

konart•8h ago
On a side note: a platform can (potentially) provide a filter that will show user only posts shorter than length L1. Or longer than L1.
badsectoracula•6h ago
> By enforcing a character limit you only allow a certain type of post to be made

Yes, the one where all nuance and detail is lost after being trimmed to death so it can exist under the arbitrary limit and is much easier to misunderstand because the author couldn't put all of their thoughts in writing.

It does help with engagement though.

bigstrat2003•1h ago
I think that the breakdown of public discourse in the US in the last 15ish years is directly attributable to Twitter. When the main mode of engagement with others in politics is to drop 140-char hot takes, it shouldn't be surprising people hate each other. The world would genuinely be a much better place, in my opinion, if Twitter or its like had never existed.
rrr_oh_man•2h ago
> why enforce any limit (except for a sane ones) at all

Some say Shakespeare was his (their?) best when he was limited to the fixed form of the sonnet.

DyslexicAtheist•1h ago
Actually it's "his". Also Redditors at the time rated him merely as "one among many talented playwrights and poets". It wasn't until the 17th century that he's been been considered _the_ supreme playwright.

... is this^^ the type of content you want on Itter? Because that's what you get from this crowd.

chneu•8h ago
It's the same reason I still like sports: humans operating within constraints produce interesting outcomes.

It's why film photography is still popular. The constraints create unique ideas.

caprock•7h ago
Agreed! I have enjoyed how the constraints will prod me to refine and distill an initial thought into more crisp phrasing.
ravenstine•7h ago
People today don't read, they skim. If the text is too long, they won't even do that. Nevertheless, I'm surprised text hasn't completely died in favor of TikTok style videos, butaybe we are still on our way to that.
sundarurfriend•5h ago
> I'm surprised text hasn't completely died in favor of TikTok style videos

You gave the answer yourself - TikTok style videos, short as they are, aren't as easy to skim through as microblogging sites.

ravenstine•5h ago
Not quite, I think. Bite sized videos provide the illusion of promise that one won't miss any information, whereas I would think that promise isn't there when skimming over text.
zwnow•7h ago
Because ain't nobody gonna read a 20000 word manifest
nathan_douglas•6h ago
Can verify, I'm somewhere on the hypergraphic spectrum and one of the reasons I like computers in general and LLMs in particular is that they're literally forced to read what I write.
antonvs•5h ago
Kinda. The large context windows that recent LLMs have tends to imply that their attention to your input is selective. They're just humoring you really.
chairmansteve•6h ago
Yep. You can link to manifest in your tweet.
add-sub-mul-div•7h ago
For the same reason that some of the things I say to people are single sentences while others are multiple full paragraphs.
sneak•7h ago
Do you know why Formula 1 is called Formula 1? The formula refers to a specific set of constraints to which all of the participants must adhere.

The cars could be totally different; more tech, features, etc. The whole sport and culture is defined around the system of shared constraints.

_Algernon_•6h ago
The medium is the message. Presumably the creators felt that it is such a fundamental part of the medium they want to recreate that they keep the constraint.
rrr_oh_man•2h ago

bee_rider•6h ago
Something like 2-5 rows at some reasonable width (40? 80?) could be nice for a sort of live feed to put over to the side in a terminal maybe.
rrr_oh_man•2h ago
that's a really cool thought, thank you!
thunkle•7h ago
I like the self depreciation here: > itter.sh is built with TONS of bugs on:
rrr_oh_man•2h ago
it's true, unfortunately...
abhisek•7h ago
Wow. Reminds of the old BBS era.
joshcsimmons•7h ago
This is AWESOME. Love the idea of totally navigating around the ad-noise that the modern html/css/js web has become. This is how I first experienced the internet and I still maintain that it is one of the sanest ways to do so.

How is adoption so far?

rrr_oh_man•2h ago

300-ish sign-ups, 12k posts

csomar•7h ago
The SSH keystroke lag makes it un-enjoyable especially that you need to type to move around the interface. Otherwise, I like the concept. I'd rather have a terminal feed of random shit that I can filter than having to navigate around web pages.
rrr_oh_man•2h ago
gotcha!

Aw, it doesn't work :(

Well, guess it's time to scale

rrr_oh_man•2h ago
yeah, I screwed this up in all kinds of ways

thx for the love tho <3

tehlike•6h ago
This is timely.

For my side project (pricetracker.wtf) i was hoping to build a terminal app that you can connect with telnet or ssh - and do navigate the app through a super simplified but interactive ux...

Found a few libraries that seems to help with this...

ilvez•6h ago
Curious how long it took to get it? Fun experiment. Missing readline support though :)

I was at first thinking I could use it from my commandline directly..

It needs a terminal with 24 bit color support, and at least 80x24. In particular, gnu screen doesn't work.
