Oyie is a micro social app to stay in sync with your friends by sharing very short status updates or web links as push notifications.
How is this different to a group chat in any messenger?
I get an error trying to enable notifications (on iPhone safari):
undefined is not an object (evaluating 'swReg.pushManager.subscribe')

Great minimalist design choices here.
I felt myself longing for profile photos, but also I am willing for them to be left out.
Looks fun! And always nice to be able to grab the handle you want when you are one of the first to join
Nice. Can this be self hosted?
Nice and simple UI, thank you.
How can we get people to switch from services like X/Twitter or other chat apps to something like this though?
Isn't this conceptually similar to twtxt?
Looks cool, tried to register. Received email verification link, but when I click it - I get:

Interesting, thanks. Just heard of t2.social and looked at bluesky yesterday. Glad competition continuing.
All the positive comments seem fake
Just setting up my oyie
me gusta. what’s the tech behind this?
This market is currently dominated by IM group chats.
In fact, most of the old social media has now moved over to chat groups.
I never get the obsession with micro blogging.
It's useless. An exercise.
I don't get the praise in the comments. When I'm bored, that's the kind of simple and easy project I'd write. Or when testing a new framework or database etc.
To each their own I guess. Not trying to be mean.
Whatsapp message groups seem to be the new family facebook.
Man this seems like exactly the sort of thing I’d be into… if my family and friends would use it too.
The biggest problem with social apps is getting buy-in from everybody else. Everyone needs to sign up for a new account, install a new app, pay attention to a new thing, think in a new paradigm. And since I’m the one who suggests it, I’m the one that plays support when they inevitably lose their password, or can’t figure out how to shorten links to share, can’t figure out how to host images or link to specific content or specific places in content…
Which is why everybody still begrudgingly uses Facebook I suppose.
