People posting things they're working on professionally or personally is *literally why I'm here*.
I would love nothing more than a feed full of smart people absolutely nerding out on shit they're into.

Just followed you for exactly that.
Great Post.
I definitely nerd out appreciation of other people’s topics of nerding.
Take Abandoned America (a GREAT follow)
And SARDONICUS.
Of course DAVID TROY for all things. And Greg Olear and THE_FIVE8
@aaadaaam
And…. If you follow @the_five8 on youtube, you can join and post comments and join the after hours group.
It’s sanity making.
Oooo, I like the Complexity creates new problems.
I have to read more of these.
@GregStolze @aaadaaam I read the last one as dungeons crawling for souls, and now I have an image of dungeons unmooring themselves in order to crawl into the cities to claim the souls of the unwary.
If the adventurers won't go to the dungeon...

Man I can't even get started good in 1024 characters.
Teaser:
It's a full stack python site built on Flask, SQLAlchemy and HTML5/JS/CSS3.
It is derivative of Miguel Grinberg's 'Flasky', informed by his 'Mega Tutorial'.
As designers, we worry about education, hate, and philosophy.
As devs, we worry about legal liability, labor cost, and administration.
We have a plan to open source the project, but not until there is a certain basic feature set in place.
The reason for this is that we see it as a founding principle that we should, as they say over at google, "Eat our own dog food".
We're about there; I'd guess we're at about 85-90% of our feature targets.
Currently, we have user security/profiles, we can make posts and comments, we have followers, contacts, and some rudimentary management of user supplied media.
It is a markdown rich environment.
Yet to finish before dropping the code are threaded posts, decaying comments, ActivityPub support, and a rich endorsement/karma system.

Nerding out on readability. The average American reads at a 7th grade level or lower. That means that if your content (for the general public) is significantly higher, you're creating covert barriers. If you're trying to inform the public, you're leaving huge information gaps that others will be happy to fill, possibly with misinformation.
Writing at a lower readability rate isn't "dumbing down." It's "opening up."
That they are WILLING to share with the rest of us
