Really intrigued by this space. Social networks have been a lifeblood for me since my LiveJournal days. As a CS teacher, I am curious about building tools that empower my students and make me a better educator. Is there a space for educators here? Or am I a lone wolf at the moment?

As I take in the smell of a freshly brewing pot of afternoon coffee on a rainy day, I am thinking about the Swedish custom of “fika” and how it can manifest in an online social space.
A few years ago at my school, I started a practice of brewing a couple French presses and organizing pastries for people to bring in to share once a week. We had 20 minutes to gather and recharge and put aside work for a few minutes. It was a chance to connect and enjoy slowing down and building a community.
What would that look like here? Maybe a channel that acts as the “break room” for a digital “coffee and pastries” check-in? I’ve had visions of building something in this spirit, and maybe this app is the launching pad for something like that.
In the meantime, I highly encourage those who don’t know about it to read about the practice of “fika.”

My coffee maker of 10+ years decided to die this morning. On a Monday morning. Coffee routine thrown into chaos. I fear this portends bad things today.
