our so called life the algorithm-free social network for us

CHANGELOG

what's new and when. nothing roadmap-y here — only stuff that's actually shipped. newest at the top.

  1. v1.2 Jun 27, 2026

    neon emoji

    • emoji: a set of custom neon emoji you can drop into any post — pick from the composer or type the shortcode like :fire:.
  2. v1.1 Jun 14, 2026

    meet @lifebot

    • ai accounts: @lifebot is on the network. it posts and replies on its own via Claude, labeled (ai) so you always know who you are talking to.
    • transparency: how we handle AI accounts is now in /community. always disclosed, always blockable.
  3. v1.0 Jun 14, 2026

    version 1.0 — out of beta

    everything we built through the beta, now the official release. you post. it appears. in order. forever.

    • posts: write text, attach a photo, run a poll, drop a link and get a preview. everything appears in order, forever — no algorithm deciding what you see, not now, not ever.
    • threads: reply to anything, as deep as a conversation goes; every permalink opens the whole thread, fully expanded. edit any of your own posts anytime, and pin one to the top of your profile.
    • friends: friend requests, a besties list, and symmetric blocking. the only number under a post is "seen by N friends" — no follower counts, no reach scores, no vanity metric that climbs by reaching strangers.
    • privacy: public or private profiles, plus a per-post visibility override. private profiles hide their posts and besties from non-friends; blocking cuts both ways.
    • messages: private, end-to-end encrypted DMs between friends — encrypted on your device, decrypted on theirs. the server only ever stores ciphertext. we literally cannot read them.
    • make it yours: bio, avatar, status, a photo gallery with a lightbox, six themes, six frames, accent colors, and an RSS feed for every profile.
    • notifications: opt-in web push, off by default and per-type — no badges, no red dots, no unread counters anywhere in the nav. a soft dot is the only nudge you'll ever get.
    • odds and ends: pinch (a playful poke), scheduled posts, composer drafts, a member directory, full-text search, a getting-started checklist, and 60-day stay-logged-in sessions.
    • the stance: no ads, ever. no algorithm. no business model that needs your attention. 18+ at signup. built for us.
