Building an X alternative for Devs only

Hope this post is allowed.
I’m building an alternative to Twitter — a platform for thoughtful conversations rather than just short, fleeting posts.
Instead of a single, chaotic feed, it’s organized around topic-based spaces where you can have structured discussions, run AMAs, share insights, and build a focused community — without the noise.
It’s ideal for people who want to go beyond likes and replies and actually connect around ideas.
And yes, content is SEO-optimized, so it’s easier to be discovered organically — by people actually searching for what you’re talking about.
Happy to answer any questions below.

It’s something like what Twitter used to be—but without the noise, ads, or distractions. I wanted to create a fully free space for developers: a micro-blogging style community focused purely on devs.
The idea came from my own frustration trying to find a platform that combined three things:
So I built the platform I couldn’t find.
