Please consider adding screenshots of the UI that provide an idea of what the experience will be like without having to log in using Bluesky or other credentials.

“Your data isn’t trapped on our servers” - where is it then? Who can access it?

“Open social” is so much bs compressed in a couple of buzzwords.

This looks neat, but should I be concerned about the permissions this is requesting for my account? Bluesky: Manage your profile, posts, likes and follows

Where is data stored? Bluesky? My PDS? Your PDS, for free?

Thanks for building this, UX is nice and should encourage people to switch from Discord. Bsky only is a bit disappointing as it is still heavily centralized. I would love to see a system like this that can also set up channels over Nostr and the Fediverse. Fragmentation is starting to become an issue with decentralized and federated social.

Interesting project, but...

> BUILT ON OPEN STANDARDS. PRIVATE WHEN NEEDED.

> Running a private group chat? As soon as the AT protocol supports private data, we'll work on implementing it and giving you the option to create private communities.

Not exactly "private when needed" then, is it? It's disingenuous to even mention this in the marketing copy.
