   I am solving a problem I myself had and seeing if anyone else might find it interesting. It may or may not take off like every other startup and I am fine with it. Why the snark?

   We are building a private, "healthy" social network for close friends with chronological feed and no doomscrolling or clout-chasing. https://waitlist-tx.pages.dev

   We are building a social network with chronological feed. I am thinking how to make it sustainable without raising VC funding but not doing aggressive ad targeting. Obviously people are not going to pay for a social network. So maybe just v

   True though. We will be adding support for images in the next release. We can add an option to export all data (in the pipeline) and let users delete account and data in one click (available on first release) but I don't know what else

   I messed up the formatting. Below is the correct text > Blog PostX is indeed something like a private blogging space. It's something I wanted for myself. Honestly I am not fully sure how it's going to be used by people but I ha

   Thanks for the response Many early adopters have asked for photo support so we will be definitely supporting it in the next release. We are just trying to figure out how to do it without it turning into a clout-chasing machine.

    Sometimes I remember a particular line from a particular article and wish I had kept the links. But I have learnt that things should go away permanently and it's normal to never get to read it again. "Life is like that" I had

    I am trying to find out with the one I am building :) I wonder how many people can give up effortless doomscrolling to see a limited length chronological feed made up of their friends' posts

    Thanks :) Few others have suggested the same. But it kind of defeats the purpose since the goal is to see updates from your close friends and have only private profils. Even though empty feed is not good, it's a feature in our platfor

    I deleted all my bookmarks since I was hoarding unhealthy amount of them. A lot of them were in "to read" folder. It was so freeing to "let go"

    These are very valid questions , thanks for asking them. > Group chat Group chats work when everyone in one know each other. I have N different circles which don't overlap so group doesn't chat makes sense. Messages in group c

    Thanks for the thoughts. But we are not interested turning into Facebook. You will only see posts of your friends and nothing more. I was spending 8+ hours a day doom scrolling which led to this idea. I just want to see what my friends want

    We don't let anyone find you on the site without your short secret code which they need to ask you for. The code can be changed anytime. You (the user) need to actively ask your friends' code to build up the network. This also kee

    Couldn't have said it better. Nothing is a social network anymore. Everything is a content-consumer a platform now. People just want to scroll and scroll

    new users will face the empty feed problem since by design one can't find anyone without their code. No "People you may know" or "select at least N interests or follow N accounts to continue". I think early adopters

    I am building one with a chronological feed and no public profiles. You need to already know someone to find them here. Check out the waitlist! https://waitlist-tx.pages.dev/ Edit: Here are some rough layout designs https:
