Really cool! We're building a marketplace for high quality webgpu games @ Wavedash. We made this little demo of unity's viking village you can see how it runs on your comp and if it uses webgl or webgpu (also optimizing load times rn sorry bout that). Press "c" to walk around
Right now, we just have a viewing experience for web, and it's still lacking in many ways. Our Android/iOS apps allow you to create/post to channels and are much better experiences. But we're currently in the process of building out a full web platform!
Hmm, I don't find Twitter or Slack to be our competitors at all. Twitter uses a newsfeed, we don't. We give you an entire page that is completely yours. If anything, we're more like Snapchat stories then Twitter, except with text.
We're more similar to Slack, but one difference is that we have a few contributors broadcasting to a large audience. Slacks is also made up of closed communities, we focus more on housing all of these channels in one place.
Glad you like it! We're mobile first at this point, so the only way to subscribe is on our iOS/Android app. (They're also a much better experience altogether).
I'd encourage you to download our mobile app -- and try reading there. We just built this website to mimic the functionality in the app and show the concept, but the implementation is not as good.
Glad you asked. Telegram channels definitely provided us inspiration for our product. We loved the idea of them, but thought that there were major holes in their product that have still not been fixed or addressed, and they created "channels" in 2015. Here are the problems we wanted to address:
1. Telegram broadcast channels only allow 1 contributor. We think that there are a lot of interesting use cases that arise when having multiple contributors on one broadcast.
2. Telegram has absolutely no explore feature (other than searching and hoping for the best).
3. Telegram is a chat app first and foremost. It doesn't seem like they're going to spend any time building new features specifically for broadcasts. We have lot of really exciting features that we're currently working on that will continue to make our experience better different times of feedback.
Yup -- that's just an example. We have landing pages for all of our chats. See our response to plx. Keep in mind that our web experience is lacking :). On the mobile app you can read at your own pace.
We'll get this fixed right away -- thanks for letting us know. (should be fixed)
"So this is basically Slack but public URLs and not everyone can comment, right?" -- that's a good way of describing what our website is right now. We are mobile first -- in our app you can subscribe and follow these channels all in one place. We just whipped up a web landing page for each of the channels to give you guys a preview. We hope to have a fully functioning web client soon.
