After 7 months of work, it's here!

I don't really go to many places on the internet, neither do I use a lot of apps. I just don't feel like it anymore. I used to frequent here as a lurker mostly when they had that old designs with old html and blue hyperlinks. No tracking, no personalized algorithm nonsense, no AI. Now, it's 'FOR YOU' everywhere. Every major sites, every app. After reddit removed r/all, it's it fels bland, just like other major sites. We still have ‘all’ at old reddit but we all know that won't last for long. I crave for that old space we use to have in the internet.
We can't do much but we can have our own space back. Seven months ago, I started working on this as a side project AND few months ago I quit my job as a senior software developer. It's in beta, but it's here. It will be that quiet corner of the internet.No AI, No Algorithm!
It would mean a world to me if you would give it a look: https://cozy.talk
Thank you.

Your website looks pretty fantastic... Definitely loving that retro aesthetic... Not sure if I will ever use it... But loving the look of your website all the same.

I've been wanting to make a website that competes with reddit as well. I think reddit sucks. Nice work!!
SASCHIA@reddit
Will it be available in Dark Mode?
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Yes! I am releasing a dark theme this weekend. I wanna take care of the avatar selection first.
RaceHard@reddit
You have me sold, is there a plan for the avatar images to be customized? would love to make my own pixatar
SASCHIA@reddit
That's great. I may join up at a later date.

It's really cool looking, but I tried getting a username
It guided me all the way to your gender, and any choice I get and click to finish, I get "registration is blocked from this network or device."
joanmiro@reddit
I'll use it everyday just because of design of the ux.
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Thank you! We will wait for you there!

What is it exactly?
Healthy_Bedroom5837@reddit
awesome!
WTF-LMAO1@reddit
It would be really cool if this was a real software
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
If enough people enjoys it, I am thinking about packaging as standalone software as well down the road.
Linux_Account@reddit
Make it Linux exclusive.
WTF-LMAO1@reddit
I think it'll be doubly awesome if it can run on Windows 95
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
oh, no kidding haha
HorseFD@reddit
This looks amazing.
For some reason when I go to sign up, it calls me Jon and says I already have an account. Any idea why that’s happening? I have never visited the site before and I don’t know any Jons outside of Garfield.
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Hey man, would you mind trying again? Appreciate it.
HorseFD@reddit
All working now, thanks!
Linux_Account@reddit
What happened, Jon?
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
That's odd. Checking. Will let you know.
astroaxolotl720@reddit
I got ask, if it’s ok, is this some form of *nix? And if so what’s the desktop environment and theme lol. This is sweet
MelonCakey@reddit
Just made an account maybe 5 minutes ago, but it suddenly signed me out and won't let me sign back in.
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Can you try again please?
MelonCakey@reddit
Back in now, thank you for the quick reply! I saw mention of bandwidth issues, so will keep that in mind <3
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Appreciate it! Thank you.
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Facing some bandwidth issue and it's crashing my server. I am working on it. Sorry. Will let you know!
Bigb5wm@reddit
I like how old school it is.
Dangerous-Regret-358@reddit
I really like this. The ui is really nice, clear and uncluttered.
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
I appreciate you feedback. Than you.
JohnRogan1234@reddit
Looks like a game
Born_Unit_7204@reddit
I like the aesthetic you got going there :-)
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
Thank you. I really worked hard on the design especially.
Puzzled_Mention5855@reddit
Looks awesome! I might get a few friends to try this out
yaNeverKn0w@reddit (OP)
