Welcome to Bullstin! We hope you enjoy your usage of our services. We are a micro-blogging service with ‘tacks’ of up to 512 characters, and we have plans to develop a media sharing functionality that will start with just images. We’re more than just a bulletin board!
While limited at the time of writing this, it is our goal to provide a comfortable and reliable space on the Internet where you can share your ideas and communicate inteligently with other users. We want a better Internet, so we’re picking up the tools that conglomerate corperations threw away, and starting from where it should always start: The ground up.
All of our production code is written from scratch with no automated programs interfering, making sure our code runs as cleanly and leanly as possible to provide you with the fastest possible experience we can provide, of course with the limitation of the network connection speed taken into account.
By default, our pages styling will require modern web rendering technology to be present, but in the future once the base site is completed it is our goal to create a lighter interface that will render completelly correctly in a browser from say… 2010, maybe. We at Bullstin cannot gauruntee this future though, as those ways of browsing the web may become to dangerous to promote.
When it comes to developing websites, I want anything I write to run in a practically modern environment, not just the cutting or even bleeding edge. The Internet once operated just fine from a client running a 1GigaHertz processor, and I want to bring that back as everyone, literally everyone, benefits from software usable under that environment. People on even slower computers can access the service at all, albeit a little slower, and everyone with a faster processor get’s absolutely no hitches from it.
Talking a little bit about myself, many find it funny or disturbing that I’m clinging to the corporate computing lies of my early childhood. My parents simply don’t understand, and that’s okay. What I’d like to clarify now, is that I’m actually clinging to is the idea that computers can help us achieve great things at this point. That’s not going to happen in a world where the main thing people need a computer for doesn’t even allow the bottom half of all computers manufactured to use it, simply as the big players being the only options and them deciding those systems don’t meet their standards.
I also think the web fundamentally has lost all character in these spaces, and that’s the reason lots of people leave, including how I left for the most part. Design has homogenized, the whole user-base of some sites is confirmed to be a sliver of active accounts, and generally most existing platforms are designed to spread hate whether from the start or simply due to lack of maintenance, on accident or on purpose.
I can’t gauruntee I will solve these problems, but things on the platforms that have decayed by now all seemed to start out alright. I simply want to start over again, if this is a cycle that can’t be broken, so that I can provide a good experience for someone to dream it can happen again when this could innevitably go downhill.
I’m also an artist, that’s the other thing I’ve taught myself. I’ll admit I’ve played around with AI crap before, but every time I was disapointed and left feeling like I had wasted my time. I have made the Terms of Service of this website reflect my general sentiment towards generated content, but beyond enforcing it with due reason, I have to accept there’s generally nothing I can do asside from abstain from it myself. I hope you have a good, even if it’s really hard to have one right now.
