Front page says 150MB RAM, About page says 90MB.

Whole site is full of LLM-isms (em-dashes, stilted 'X. Y. Z. <Summary>.' constructions).

It's so boring. It says "We put one prompt worth of effort into our landing page". Just like all the others.

"No ads · No tracking · No ID verification · Free forever" - why would anyone believe this for a closed source application that, presumably, you want to monetize? Servers and developers aren't free, unless it's open source and/or self hosted.

Exactly. I am simply done using any service whose source code I cannot audit myself.
Yeah, the RAM numbers are off, those are from different builds, and we never synced them. my bad, fixing today. And it's two of us and the landing page got like a day of attention because everything else felt more urgent. not really a defense, just what happened. Same reason it's nowhere near as rich as Discord's site.

"free forever" — it's already been free 1.5 years, we were Zorium before the rebrand. If we do add a paid plan later the stuff that's free now stays free, new stuff gets charged for. we also build business software, so we've got spare server capacity, runs fine on it.

Thanks for the feedback tho :)
