hmm, having a feed that's a mix of very short-form and fairly long-form content is a bit of a… weird reading experience? I have to disagree with people who think Twitter's character count is all bad; the 280-character limit means your feed doesn't get too wide a variation in post length and thus time needed to consume each. maybe I'd like a site that explicitly segregates microblogs from blogs (having separate feeds for them?) because the way I engage with them is pretty different

👀👀👀 feature request: webGL shaders as profile header images
forget all my serious feature requests, i need this silly one More,
(a§c, folks, if you're reading this: it would be nice to have a header image with an arbitrary shader applied! or rather, have the image be an input to the shader as a texture. then it can be used as, for example, a texture atlas :3)
this site doesn't have most of twitter's more social network-y (for a lack of better word) features: your timeline doesn't show when two people you know have a conversation, you don't see when people you know like eachother's posts, the profiles you visit don't show their connection to people you know… it's a lot more like following a bunch of blogs which have associated comments sections. i have seen already that some people prefer this more tumblr-like experience, but, ah, for long-time twitter users like me who used that site mostly as a way to talk to friends, i think cohost might feel like it's missing something.
(this isn't a criticism, though it is kinda a response to a different post i saw that was celebrating how un-twitter-like cohost is, and i wanted to offer a different perspective)
