understood 🫡 you’ve got an amazing community in read cv. i’m so curious what the initial instinct and catalyst was to pursue Posts? was it planned a while back?

We started work on Posts in November when Twitter first started to show signs of losing its way. We made the bet despite thinking the twitter stuff would blow over, but that’s proven to not be the case.

inspiring to see the bet pay off. i’m sure you’ve got lots planned for Posts, if you were to think ahead to the end of this year, what will Posts mean to read cv and the community?

We are just hoping it continues to grow into a space where people can connect with like minded people and find cool opportunities they wouldn’t have found otherwise - same over arching goals as read.cv

The response has been super wild! Continuing to share the app with diverse and unique voices in design/technology/art/life is the #1 thing we can collectively do to make this a space worth coming back to

How do you see this app contributing to the broader community, and what impact do you hope it has on the industry as a whole?

Hopefully we can show that there’s merit to engaging/sharing in authentic/personal way online. Similar vibe to the demos and chill event that @yitong hosts - no agenda, but cool things may serendipitously come out of it.
