@stagascreative technologist creator of textlogenter to follow If anything, a lack of timestamps would reduce the value of historical posts on here. Without a timestamp, I have no idea that I'm looking at a historical post to begin with.

I think this is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist on this platform. I would predict that any sense of "timelessness" will come from #tlogenter to follow's plaintext-centricity and feature minimalism, not a lack of timestamps.

I hear you. What about approximate time? just wrote: ~30mins replied to you recently: ~6h replied to you earlier: ~2d wrote some time ago: ~30d wrote a long time ago: older

I'd advocate for relative up to a threshold (1 day?), then just show the timestamp.

Makes sense to me. If you wanted to do A/B testing maybe show and hide the timestamp on the list page while still showing it on an individual post to see if it drives clicks 🫣

Honest question, not meant as a slight: does textlog have enough users yet to make A/B testing useful? IMO early stage apps/projects are best designed through the intuitions of the creator(s). User feedback is a critical input to those intuitions.

Not enough users for A/B to be useful, I follow my intuition and I think about what users tell me a lot. The metric here for the timestamps change is if we see replies to older posts that would otherwise be buried, but since it’s so little activity it can be monitored manually.
