The principles that guide us

We're a team with a different kind of vision.

De-shittification

Building value users are willing to pay for directly. Avoiding monetization models that depend on exploiting user data. Maintaining trust as a first-order product requirement.

Our users are not the product

User information may exist to operate the service (for example: account and login flows), but selling user data violates the trust model of the platform.

No ads

Ad-supported growth models usually depend on aggressive targeting and user profiling. That conflicts with the principle that users are not the product.

No forced AI

AI features should not be imposed on users, especially where they do not improve the current product experience or where they add disproportionate cost.

Community driven

We aim to build a durable relationship with a privacy-first, non-corporate-minded user community.
