why where people so attached to their twetch number? it was a marker for early adoption.
treechat decided not to label usernames that way. but can it make early adoption visible? perhaps somewhere in the user's profile there is a line that says: "treechatter since june 2024"; some may even get an OG nobility title such as "knovigator".
the last suggestion brings out that what was attractive wasn't just the twetch number: it was a certain playfulness projected trhough the UI and and an overall attitude that made the app a fun in-game. twetch didn't invent this, reddit deployed it over a decade and a half ago (e.g. trophy cases, snoos).
treechat is more serious -- and that has its own obvious strengths -- but one wagers that a little more userbase infatuation would not hurt adoption.

we will come up with something
Broken record here again 👋😂, I still feel that the user is missing a base where they start from and where they branch out to private public following etc etc like the user screen only it is where you start from every time you arrive (see image)...... or should I say this is just how I feel...and I agree that users numbers were cool, this also could be visible on the persistent home screen
you can start anywhere but it certainly would be cool to have a base / personal page
I agree.
I think it would suffice if the first onchain post would be tagged at the top of the profile or something similar.

oh yea i like this! just added the "treechatter since 2024" bit to the profile pages, we'll see what else we can do here
I am not a number I am a man. So why are we worried about numbers when the real numbers are a dollar signs? How about more adaption how can we link up with our handcash wallet?
I think we are collection of mappings.
Our mind and soul is mapped to our body and other stuff, which results in something like identity.
And the internet maps those existing mappings/identity to additional magic numbers and extents this concept of identity to the virtual space.
