Oddbean new post about login | logout Is it possible that Apple's Freeform app could be used as a micro, semi-private, collaborative social space for shared interests? I'm thinking of a social media that's spatial rather than time-line based. Imagine hanging out in a coffee shop rather than standing by the side of a road as information just flows by. Are there any such online gathering spaces that are a spatial experience rather than a timeline/feed experience? #Apple #iPad https://beardystarstuff.net/2023/09/29/apples-freeform-as.html
@c28ce4e6 Very interesting idea! Two thoughts: 1. Reddit did something similar with /r/place. As an AFD joke they developed a central visual document anyone could place a pixel on, with a cool down period to the next pixel. Subreddits collaborated to create art while defending their “turf” from rivals. 2. Your point about a digital status board reminded me of the personalization of MySpace. Profile design what was part of the user’s expression, and would change over time.
