Waldi: A quiet place to write, and to be read

At least one interesting concept:

> Your first hundred readers are guaranteed. When you publish, your post is quietly shown to a hundred readers. No followers required, no algorithm to please. Good writing finds its people here.

HN does something similar (although without concrete "at least X viewers"), new comments get some seconds/minutes on the top of the comments, before they slowly "fall down", similar idea I think, surface new things. Makes sense.

I tried to signup, the form basically reported no errors nor success. Tried with just "asdasd" basically instead of semi-real information, then it was successful and asked to confirm my email. Then I went to the GitHub repository, and it says "reading is open to everyone; writing is by invitation", you might want to disable sign ups if you cannot really write anything anyways.

I'm a little confused, when I click "or just read" it asks me to create a blog. Is there any way to read the content without creating a blog?

Is this based on ATproto ? I personnaly see new silos as something less interesting than ATProto apps.

It seems unusually tone deaf to call it a place for writers, and then let AI write the blurb.

I like the concept of the message in a bottle. motivates me to write again.. But seems it requires an invite code?

How does one get an invite code for this?

Tone deaf to have an (excessively verbose) LLM-generated readme for a blog product. Apparently writing a readme is too much to ask even for avid bloggers!
