Hi there! An, the creator of SpaceHey here - This is the 2-year update about my project recreating MySpace from around 2007. Here's the original launch item from 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25245740

You know what, I like that refined myspace retro style: Not as wild as the original (as I remember it).

I hope that with the maturing and federation of distributed social networks [0], users will get to choose their UX, independently of the underlying data protocols.

I'm not talking about just a Style/Skin [1]. It is more like when people choose an advanced prebuilt theme for their Wordpress. Maybe one day they will be able to choose a "Theme" for their social network, like this one.

Edit : It IS WILD ! woo-hoo !
