people forget how the older generation - people sentient in the 90s - mostly didn't even know what the internet was, and that those who did and sought to profit from it were rapacious scoundrels. People who made awesome websites and appreciated other ones were always in a tiny subculture minority.
federated apps never really took off imo, maybe because it matters only for a small fraction of people who's concerned about security or selfhosting or whatsoever else tech people care about nowadays
In what sense is this a social network? From examples it looks like personal pages made in notion. But no friends list or commenting on other people's content?
Ya, fair enough. I'm still figuring out how I want to do those features. Plan was to hopefully find some people into the idea from here and riff on some ways to implement those :)
Wow! Pretty impressive that the whole thing is based on notion!
MySpace nostalgia is still very very big.
I actually rebuilt the original MySpace last year and called it "SpaceHey" (with blogs, forums, customizable profiles with css, bulletins, etc.) - it has over 550k users already and is still growsing rapidly. Pretty crazy!
Hey An ;p I'm a big fan of what you built with SpaceHey (user #2315). Happy to hear Spacehey has kept growing since I heard about it! I definitely agree the nostalgia is big, and I think just people are into having more customizability.
I was browsing the Notion subreddit and it reminded me so much of Myspace. And then I had the idea to combine the two, so whatever your Notion space looks like, your 'social' page will reflect that.
Will see where it goes, but it was fun little project to build!
Pretty fun hit of nostalgia. I feel like FB/IG/whatever have lost a lot of what made it fun to share things about yourself or personalize your page in a creative way.
Nice! haha thanks for checking it out! I noticed an error in my Duplication template, so I think I was creating too many per user. You are most likely around first 5 users ;p

EDIT: for the younger generation GeoCities was (or seemed like) the place to build your homepage on the WWW on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_GeoCities .. now they should implement Webrings too! (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring) and page counters and in particular online guestbooks!

There might be, but I can’t see it on mobile
These are the tools I used:
* BlitzJS (https://github.com/blitz-js/blitz)
* Official Notion API
* React Notion X (https://github.com/NotionX/react-notion-x)

So, instead of editing HTML to create your space like you did on Myspace, you can customize it with all the tools Notion has already built.
Notion has a big community, 200k+ on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/
