If you were using Twitter over the weekend, you probably came across the error “Rate limit exceeded.” Turns out Twitter users were hit by a limit on the number of tweets they can see per day. According to Elon, this is to combat massive scraping attempts. Regardless, we are honored to be one of your Twitter rations.
Could this replace Reddit and Twitter?
Chaos = opportunity: Following Reddit's unpopular move to charge developers hefty fees for access to their API, it's no surprise the resulting rumble gave rise to rumors of replacements.
At the forefront of this buzz? squabbles: A new social network claiming to be the unofficial lovechild of Reddit and Twitter’s best features.
Best of both worlds: “Twitter is great for following notable people, but the UI doesn't facilitate conversation very well,” observes squabbles founder Jake Lee. “Reddit is great for conversations, but not good for following people. There needed to be something in between the two… So I decided to create it.”
Like on Twitter and Reddit, “squabblers” can: Follow people, be followed, tweet, have in-depth, multi-person conversations, and browse communities built around topics of interests.
Developers welcome: squabbles already has an API and a third-party developer community making use of it, including a bot that reports on the daily news out of Ukraine, and “several iOS and Android apps being built at a rapid pace,” reports product and engineering lead Dylan Husted.
Being kind, by design: “There's a strong [community] foundation of simply being welcoming and kind, which has been noticeably absent at Reddit and Twitter lately,” reflects Husted.
“This effect is achieved by design: You pick your communities without ending up in an echo chamber; you say your piece without fear of the downvote.”
Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
