exactly half of the ello logos that I can see are hyperlinks and half of them aren't and there is nothing distinguishing them

it says here my avatar should be 340x340 pixels and when I upload an image of that size it just shows me the top left corner of it

I think they mean 175x175 or so

so why are we talking about this and not the eighty other nearly identical nascent social networks which must exist which don't break the back button

many search strings cause a 412 Precondition Failed error in my console but I can't figure out the pattern of which ones yet

maybe it's strings they haven't got cached results for yet or something?

jesus loving christ this site

does it understand how web pages work, like at all

the list of elementary browser features broken in ello includes right-clicking, the back button, mouse scrolling, page up/down keys

this is pretty bad even for a beta. why does the search only work when it feels like it?

i think if you search for a string that nobody's ever searched for before, you get a 412 Precondition Failed which I think is arising from the fact that they have no cached search results for that string

also the front end doesn't deal with this error correctly so nothing happens

idk why people are
still asking to join


it's like exactly why invite only should be outlawed

the principal draw of ello is that nobody's using it so if you act fast you can probably nab your usual username

Startup / tech junky. I'm building an app called Hey.

Get it on the App Store:
heyapp.co itunes.apple.com/us/app/HEY_APP/id916476906


ten loving thousand, do these dudes just run an add all-script?

i think we're probably still early enough in the existence of ello that it's possible to literally follow every other ello user
