one thing i don’t like abt a lot of modern messaging apps eg imessage fb messenger slack is there’s a weightiness & friction to each message — the sent/delivered status, the send sound, the icon. i just wanna shoot thoughts out back & forth as fast as i can type

gchat was so fucking fast there's a rhythm to it, u also see it with other lightweight interfaces like twitch chat and irc that aren't weighed down by stuff like message bubbles & sender right alignment & lots of whitespace everyone just goes a little harder

I’m the most anxious and “in a rush” on Facebook messenger. The least with text messages (even with sounds and statuses and stuff). Telegram in the middle.

Huh I never thought about why I liked older messaging apps so much but this states it perfectly.

Strangely, this once existed (maybe still does). Watching people type, edit, correct themselves in real time felt more connected than modern chat apps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_(software) …
