Finally finished this project I've been working on for over a month!

Basically, it's the "disaster timeline" concept of Web3 is Going Just Great, except it's community sourced/run and on many different topics.

...and that's where you come in! I've just publicized this, so there aren't any timelines yet. If you have a topic like Twitter or the recent AI hype and want to write about it (be it alone or with others, multiple people can edit one timeline if desired), please let me know!

Credit of course to @molly0xfff for W3IGG, the idea, and for allowing me to do this! It's also open source if you'd like to poke around at the code.

This is one of the few times that I'm asking for boosts, because this project may be dead in the water if nobody is interested in it. So please boost!

Everything has Gone Just Great

About a year ago, I started working on a profile of Neeva, a search startup with some big and interesting ideas. Before I finished it, Neeva shut down. Figuring out why became the story: https://www.theverge.com/23802382/search-engine-google-neeva-android
How to build a better search engine than Google

Two ex-Googlers set out to create the search engine of the future. Neeva was faster, simpler, and ad-free. But building the tech, it turned out, was the easy part.
