Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI built my first APP... it's gonna be a p2p twitter clone,eventually.
I have been playing around with some of my new math and I decided to try my hand at app building.
First, let me say, this is not an AI or is it really a twitter clone... not yet anyway.
Truthfully, I don't want to even attempt to make a twitter clone but people seem to like that stuff so I thought about how to make it better.
Right now, you create an account on a twitter-like system and all that data is stored on someones computer. Deepblue Sky or X or Instagram or whatever they call themselves, they all do the same thing. They all store data so others can access it. That's why people pay extra for the enhanced services.
All you're doing is filling up someone's hard drive and paying for storage. That's great and all but that puts people at the mercy of people like Elon Musk and that Facebook guy. Honestly, I don't use that shit too much but I'm trying to figure out how to use it to get my work out there. It sucks that I hate the very apparatus I need to use to make a living.
Anyway... I created the ByteTeleport App. What you do is... well watch the video....

It's easy to try. It's not a virus... at least it's not supposed to be. Be careful with how you use it, though.
I want to stress that I don't have any way to see what you send or what you say. I could have designed ways to do that but I didn't. I also don't have anyway of accessing your text logs. I could create a way to do that but I didn't. That's my word and you should take that for a grain of salt and do not use this to send anything of any importance. For all you know, it's an FBI porn trap... and frankly there's some of that shit I would absolutely help them track down the people peddling it... so this isn't remotely a safe toy to play with...
The idea is simple. You go to the site and get an id. You send that id to as many people as you want and you can chat and send data. Just drag and drop and everyone gets the same exact data at the same time.
Spoiler alert: This is technically impossible to do so it can't really be real. I suggest you play with it as much as you like before glitch is retired in a week or so. I will be building a better on for Render and my hope is to create a platform that will allow anyone to launch thier own Twitter clones... without needing massive servers. My hope is that Elon's x turns out to be a failed enterprise... LOL.
But that's just a bonus... This is just a toy test, I hope you try it out and don't hate on it too much. I'm just testing out my system and not trying to disrupt the world...LOL.

Word of warning, this is extremely buggy, completely new and not at all a permanent or even a safe system to use. I hope that's enticing enough to get you to try to break it, LOL.
I have found it does not like Apple products much so expect a few issues on your Iphone or whatever it is people use nowadays. I am not a fan of Apple products so I won't be wasting time with a patch but any chrome browser should work just fine. I have no idea really... again, I'm not building the apps for this, I'm building the core so You can build the apps.
****On Edit, Glitch shutting down has nothing to do with this APP btw. They are just shutting down and I'm relaunching on Render with a bit more of a robust service in mind. I don't want this exploited by child porn peddlers and shit like that so I want to make it more of a blockchain system. A real message board instead of a blackbox.
