The choice online today is between silence and spectacle.
There are people in your life right now who would love to see what you're doing, seeing, reading, watching, and thinking.
But you're probably not gonna post it to social media.
And it would just get buried in the group chat.
You need better places to share. Where you control who sees what.

A lot of social media is “look at me” energy.
We’re building something that lets people say, “I was thinking of you”.

There’s an intimacy in sharing something that doesn’t scale. Sharing just for the sake of connecting is more human.

There’s a difference between attention and connection.
Attention burns fast. Connection builds slowly.
Social media chose attention. We’re choosing the other.

Social media apps trained us to think “share” means “broadcast to everyone”. The most meaningful sharing has always been private, personal, and specific.

Create a Pool to share memories with people who care. When it’s organized, people can look back on it whenever they want.

The group chat can be fun, but it’s often a chaotic stream of consciousness. Pools lets you organize your sharing in a way that works for everyone. Less noise, more intention, and better sharing of the things that get buried and lost in group chats.

All social media sites have a bot problem.
If they don’t have one now, they will eventually.
When these “everyone talks with everyone” apps grow, bots flood in, distort reality, and blur the lines between genuine connection and automated nonsense.

Bluesky is an interesting alternative to Twitter/X, but it’s another space where everyone talks to everyone.
Some people like talking in public, but others like connecting in different more contextual ways. Smaller groups, sharing different things with different people.
That’s why we made Pools.

Don’t feel the guilt of oversharing. Just put in a Pool. You’ll share more when people can get to it on their own time.
