What Hacker News says?

  1. Blacksky's AppView did get a mention in his 2025 predictions review[1], but perhaps it's not exactly considered "self-sustainable" yet? I haven't kept up with it in a while either so I'm also not sure on whether it is or isn't. [1] https://www.timothychambers.net/2025/12/20/my-open-social-we... (at the very bottom)
