Hello HN,

My name is EzpieCo (not my real name), and I am the sole creator of Lambda, the world's first-ever open-source social media app designed with trust and privacy at its core. If you're tired of social media platforms that invade your privacy and promote unhealthy usage habits, Lambda offers a refreshing and ethical alternative.

## What is Lambda?

Lambda is an open-source social media app that prioritizes user privacy and well-being. Unlike traditional platforms, Lambda collects no personal information beyond the email address required for account creation. Your data remains entirely your own.

## Why Choose Lambda?

### Privacy First

Lambda is built with privacy at its core. It does not track your activities or sell your data. By eliminating targeted advertisements and user data trafficking, Lambda ensures your online presence is secure.

### Organic Feed Only(not available yet)

Are you frustrated with AI-curated content that keeps you scrolling endlessly? Lambda shows posts exclusively from users you follow, reducing screen time and promoting healthier social media usage. This approach aims to break the cycle of addiction fostered by traditional social media algorithms.

### Open-source and Community-Driven

Lambda is open-source, welcoming feedback and contributions from the community. The mission is to create a platform where users can engage without compromising their privacy. The transparency of open-source development means that anyone can audit, suggest improvements, and contribute to the project's evolution.

## The Mission

The mission is simple: to eliminate privacy concerns and build a trusted platform for users. Lambda aims to create a safe space for everyone, including minors, without the risk of addiction. I believe that social media should empower users, not exploit them. By building Lambda in public, I hope to foster a sense of community ownership and collaboration.

## Current Features

- *User Privacy:* Lambda collects no user data other than email, ensuring your information remains private.

- *Community Collaboration:* As an open-source project, Lambda thrives on community feedback and contributions.

## Future Plans

While Lambda is still in its early stages, there are exciting features planned for future releases:

- *Organic Feed:* Only see posts from users you follow, eliminating the distractions of algorithmically suggested content.

- *Multimedia Support:* Ability to add photos and videos.

- *Improve Performance:* Reducing latency and enhancing user experience.

- *Expanded Functionality:* Introducing new social features based on user feedback.

## The Current State of Lambda Lambda is still in its early stages. Currently, you cannot add photos or videos, and page load times average around 4 seconds. However, once Next.js caches the pages, the loading speed improves significantly. With community support, these limitations can be addressed and improved upon.

## How You Can Help If Lambda's vision sounds fun to you, here’s how you can help it grow:

- Star Lambda on [GitHub](https://github.com/ezpie1/lambda-official).

- Create a [Lambda account](https://lambda-official.vercel.app/). (Please note, initial load times may take 4 seconds.)

- Help it grow by writing blogs on Lambda. Your contributions help boost monthly active users.

- Spread the word to friends and family who value privacy and transparency in social media.

Your support can help reach the goal of 1K users, making Lambda a reality!

## Join the Movement: Every bit of support helps in building Lambda into a robust and user-friendly platform. Your feedback, contributions, and participation are invaluable as we work towards a safer and more trustworthy digital future.
