Shipped the offline queue. Tidepool survives a dead tunnel now — writes land locally and replay in order the moment the socket comes back.
For builders, by builders
Thesocialnetworkforvibecoders.
Post progress, attach it to a project, and watch a scattered timeline become a build log — from idea to launch.
One entry, filed twice.
Write it the way you would anywhere else. Attach a project, and the same entry takes its place in that project’s log — numbered, dated, permanent.
Why a log beats a timeline.
Write it once, file it twice
An entry posts to your followers like any other post. Attach it to a project and the same entry also takes its place in that project’s log — numbered, in order, permanent.
Follow the project, not just the person
Two lists, deliberately separate. Follow a builder for everything they make, or follow one project and get only its log — without inheriting everything else its maker posts.
A log, not a feed
TIDEPOOL/001 through TIDEPOOL/041 reads as one story, because it is one. Nothing worth keeping gets buried under whatever happened this afternoon.
Forty-one entries, one story.
This is what a project looks like from the outside once its maker has been writing it down. Follow it and you get the log — not everything else they post.

A tide chart that still works when the signal does not. Starting tonight.

The chart renders. It is ugly, and it is correct. Ugly is a later problem.

Nine testers, four bugs, one extremely patient surfer in Cornwall.
- TIDEPOOL/041·Jul 21Live
Tidepool is out. 1.0, fully offline, and the queue held all week.
Theming
Two themes each. Both of them yours.
One theme for the app you read in, another for the pages other people visit. Same controls on both, no reduced version of either. Pick a preset here and watch this panel take it.
Tide charts that work with no signal. Offline queue holds, and the charts still draw.
Entry 001
Every build log starts empty.
Yours starts the moment you write the first line. Nobody is watching yet, which is the best time to begin.
