The 280 char limit seems arbitrary, given you cant even keep the about page within that limit: https://textlog.cc/about
If you are going to limit it to short posts, maybe the length of a short post is the length to limit it to, rather than emulating the 2xSMS of every twitter clone?
Other than that, it looks really clean and neat - I just dont think being 280 chars adds anything other than resulting in people posting with pagination as per X 1/3.
Hi, thanks! There is a lot of nuance on the rendered pages, I figured server-side React was the best choice - plus it's a technology I'm comfortable with and might also encourage contributions.
Hi, I'm sorry you don't like the limitation :( this is for short thoughts you want to share, not really huge conversations, there are better places for that IMO.

It needs to be short - there is already a limit that worked well - why bikeshed it more?
I really like this approach. I wonder if it needs such complexity for the rendering. Could you have built this as a SSG template?

Would you be okay if I directed Claude to leverage your design and build a very simple Hugo template against it for my own personal use?
Why not, try it :)
I like this project. Simple, open-source, nice UI.
Yes! I've always said twitter was better before images/multimedia!
Old web vibes!

> Notes are limited to 280 characters. The constraint keeps them quick to write and read, making room for one thought at a time.
No thanks.
