TLDR: I built a "quick and dirty " private social network for my friends, posted on Reddit and HN, got some interest so now have built it properly along with my brother.

Full version:

I needed a social network where I can just send updates and nothing else. So I built it, my friends liked and now I have built it "for the world".

Everything is private by default.

- Text-only updates - No likes. Only views to acknowledge a post - [in development] Comments are private between the poster and commenter - Friends not followers - Profiles are not searchable - You need the user's `Friend Code` to find a profile - Feed shows updates from your friends and nothing else

More context:

Original Reddit post (a few months ago): https://old.reddit.com/r/digitalminimalism/comments/1kuuv8h/... Launch post (today): https://old.reddit.com/r/digitalminimalism/comments/1oh935z/...

I am looking for feedback and thoughts!

(You can use a dummy email to signup and delete the account a few clicks afterwards)

A lot of users are asking for photos, we are trying to figure out how to do that in a "clean" way

Thank you - J
