Let me announce a new project Patchwork, a microblogging tool.

demo working at: [http://patchwork.yohaku.info](http://patchwork.yohaku.info)  
code hosted at: [http://github.com/pirapira/patchwork/tree/master](http://github.com/pirapira/patchwork/tree/master)  
(under the MIT license)

The idea:  
posts and comments are the same thing. You can

1. create an original piece of text
2. write below another piece
3. write above another piece
4. create a fork of another piece and edit it.
