Most social apps are designed to keep you inside them.

Oweo is designed to get out of your way.

☑ No algorithmic reshuffling.
☑ No “while you were gone.”
☑ No pressure to perform.

You see what the people you follow post - in time order and you decide when you’re done.

That restraint is the feature.

Now they moved the Power button on the bottom of the new Mac Mini. The message:

In Defense, I Swear, of the Magic Mouse’s Charging Port Placement
