Waldi: A quiet place to write, and to be read

It seems unusually tone deaf to call it a place for writers, and then let AI write the blurb.

At least one interesting concept:

> Your first hundred readers are guaranteed. When you publish, your post is quietly shown to a hundred readers. No followers required, no algorithm to please. Good writing finds its people here.

HN does something similar (although without concrete "at least X viewers"), new comments get some seconds/minutes on the top of the comments, before they slowly "fall down", similar idea I think, surface new things. Makes sense.

I tried to signup, the form basically reported no errors nor success. Tried with just "asdasd" basically instead of semi-real information, then it was successful and asked to confirm my email. Then I went to the GitHub repository, and it says "reading is open to everyone; writing is by invitation", you might want to disable sign ups if you cannot really write anything anyways.

Only kind of. There’s some time/upvotes algorithm that determines that. If a submission has been live for a few hours or a day and already has a number of highly upvoted comments, new ones can appear so far down the list they’ll realistically not get read. Also, some submissions simply don’t get engagement, it not rare to find some with one or two comments, read by effectively no one.

I like the concept of the message in a bottle. motivates me to write again.. But seems it requires an invite code?

How does one get an invite code for this?
