Show HN: I created Twitpic, now I've launched Glue

Hello, HN. I'm a long-time lurker here and this is my first Show HN (be gentle).

I created Glue which is best described as "Twitter meets Tumblr meets Medium" which is longer than just saying another Twitter alternative but IMO not 100% accurate. I launched Glue in mid '21 and have been slowly iterating on it since.

Glue lets you share text, photos, video, audio, code snippets, quotes or break out into a long-form blog post. Posts on Glue are called "Drops".

Glue in action:

- My profile: https://glue.im/noah

- Audio: https://glue.im/shpigford/30482820740681729

- Code snippet: https://glue.im/noah/99641696463097857

- Blog Drop https://glue.im/glue/share-quotes-and-code-snippets

- Quote: https://glue.im/noah/241292351245389825

What makes it different from others?

- Trying to keep the UI simple and clean

- Use your own domain (ex: https://blog.ark.fm)

- Clean urls for long-form blog Drops (see above)

- Working on an API model that works for us and developers long-term

Glue doesn't have mobile apps yet, I think that's the biggest missing piece at the moment.

Feedback appreciated
