Hey, one of the two cofounders here. Very cool to see Weird on HN, although we had purposefully refrained from posting it ourselves yet since it’s still baking.
Weird is essentially gonna be ported over to being the static, persona-first extension of Roomy: https://blog.muni.town/chatty-community-gardens/
This looks really interesting, I always thought Linktree (and all the copycats) were just too simplistic.
However, I don't see anywhere on the homepage where you have an example. I think it would be really helpful if the example images you posted actually went to those pages. Or even better, can your homepage just be a demonstration of your product?
ATM, it seems quite distracting, rather than just being clear about the benefit.
This might interest you, especially around minute 23...

SXSW 2025 | Weirding the Digital: An Invocation with Douglas Rushkoff
How are you planning on making enough money to cover server costs etc? eg to avoid another Cohost style catastrophe.
Weird is very cheap to host so we’ve already covered hosting costs with our first batch of early adopters: https://blog.muni.town/selling-dreams/
The extended version of Weird that we’re building now however will include community hosting ranging between $10/$100 per month as part of a B2B play as opposed to the B2C model of Weird as-is, so that.
> I want Weird to be my digital ‘soul pod’. It’s the digitized me; the source from which all of my other digital being springs forth.
I recommend working on your elevator pitch, because while strangely eloquent, that is utterly incomprehensible.
The quirky sensibility coming through in the copy might appeal to the demographic interested in maintaining personal digital gardens rather than a slick SaaS product. It does too me!
Not disagreeing with the thrust of your post though I would take issue with it being both "strangely eloquent" and "utterly incomprehensible". It's just awkward writing... which, for a platform called WEIRD, is perhaps the point.
