The best way to explain #Calckey is to imagine what would happen if (pre-Elon) #Twitter fell in love with #WordPress and they had a baby.

That baby would be Calckey.

Twitter + WordPress = Calckey

Let me explain... 🧵

So like #Twitter, #Calckey has a timeline feed. Multiple timeline feeds, in fact:

1. Home
2. Local
3. Social
4. Recommended
5. Global

It's got more feeds than Twitter. And you can make more of them through lists and antennas!

But Calckey is also like #WordPress in that it has:

1. Cloud storage
2. Galleries
3. Widgets
4. Plug-ins
5. Webpages

You can customize the look and feel. And, like WordPress, there's lots of wonderful admin tools!

Twitter + WordPress = Calckey

Again, this feed is #Twitter-like -- but more futuristic, in my opinion.

If you are coming from Twitter, this should look very familiar to you.

Now this is how #Calckey gets more WordPress-like because -- just like #WordPress -- everyone who has a Calckey account can customize their theme.

And by customize, I don't merely mean select from a predetermined set of themes.

Nor do I just mean you can install one.

You can make your own Calckey theme!

You can make a Calckey theme both from a colour picker or through code!

This is very much like WordPress.

Another way #Calckey is like #WordPress: widgets!

That's right, you can add your own widgets to Calckey's dashboard.

As you can see in this dashboard, there's quite a few to choose from:

* Sticky notes
* Notifications
* Calendar
* User list
* RSS reader

And much, much more!

Calckey is definitely for microblogging -- but it's also kind of a CMS too!

Another way #Calckey is similar to #WordPress is the cloud storage options.

Yes, like #Twitter, Calckey can store photos and videos.

But like WordPress, Calckey can also host documents, audio, and even zip files on your drive!

How cool is that?

See screenshot.

So really, when people ask me, "What does #Calckey do that other microblogging platforms don't?"

The answer is: many things.

But also, Calckey is pretty much a microblog with a CMS.

Again, Twitter + WordPress = Calckey
