I'm going to be really bummed when Reddit drops its 3rd party apps. It will hit me harder than Twitter. Discord is so bloated and really isn't an alternative.

I'm one of the first children of the Internet, and I sort of grew up in online communities. There's nothing good about what's happening right now. The collaboration and hackery of the web through APIs is a big reason why it works and why I've loved it.

A non-customizable web bums me out.

WANT: slightly quirky and/or understated baseball cap/s. nerdy stuff (but not like, the word "GEEK" in huge impact font, wtf people), unusual or tastefully minimal logos, etc.

DO NOT WANT: to accidentally support garbage websites that rip off artists or pump out low-quality products. (see: redbubble, spreadshirt)

Like, I find myself searching around to see if Threadless is still any good (they were, like 15-20 years ago?) or wondering if I can dodge sketchy sellers on Etsy.

@bitprophet Just pick some minor league baseball teams. There's tons of them and they get super quirky. My local team, The Bowie Baysox has a fictionalized Mexican League alternate name of Cangrejos Fantasmas (ghost crabs). It's not even a ghost, it's a crab wearing a ghost costume!

Genuinely the best thread I've seen on Hacker News in years: "Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?"

So many delightfully niche projects!
