Nice app. The hump of network effects is real but I hope someone can figure this out and liberate the masses from the scrolling.
virgil_disgr4ce•1h ago
you realize that "the masses" don't give a shit, right? Everyone's grandparents are on facebook FOR the racist rightwing AI slop. I mean, unfortunately. I'd like to be wrong.

Then you can do it as a service; if you succeed that will mean fewer people doing that shit.

I don’t think you’d need the masses. They’ll be signing up one family group at a time. Tech savvy users will convince their parents to join for pics of the grandchildren - who’s gonna say no?

Eh I dunno. At the moment we are using a WhatsApp group chat. It works reliably and everyone is happy.

If I were to move our families to a different app I’m on the hook for any and all usability difficulties, instabilities, network connectivity issues etc etc. Even when the issue is their own internet, they are going to think that the app I made them switch to is the problem.

I have enough things to deal with already. I’ll stick with WhatsApp for the foreseeable future unless Meta does something sufficiently annoying or bad to really make me leave it. I already left Facebook many years ago and deleted the account completely I had there. I kept my Instagram but the last couple of years I’ve been less and less and less active there. I don’t even have the instagram app installed on my newest second hand phone. So I only check it once a week or so, from the previous phone.

Vibe coding pro tip: your landing page sections do not need 300px y-margins

FWIW, narrow column widths with relatively fewer words per line provably improve readability.

Which this site needs because its marketing is Claude slop and is therefore operating under a readability penalty (not least because of typical AI small font, webkit-smoothing: antialiased, lowered contrast text.

Ugh.

Vibe coding pro tip: do not let the AI write the copy on your front page.

I’m not paying a dime for something that reads like slop. I’m assuming the engineering is to the same standards.

gonzalohm•37m ago
Yes, exactly! If it reads that it took you 10 minutes to code then I'm not paying shit
jjbinx007•28m ago
There's a little box on there that says "No AI" which is pretty much meaningless. It implies it was written without AI but maybe it just means the product doesn't ship with an LLM?

Either way, it's a no from me.

I don’t know — the proof’s in the pudding but I’m not buying a slice to find out.

Regardless of the AI-tells on the homepage, if you check out the git repository, their most recent commits all happened within minutes of each other:

https://github.com/A-SIDE-Social/aside/commits/main/

- 8:14am - 8:15am - 8:36am - 8:37am

Not a red flag in and of itself, but considering the scope of each commit, my money is on _heavy_ vibe coding.

This is mental you mean you keep hold of my photos and messages and I can only see them if I pay a subscription?
