Renga

Renga (連歌) is a next-generation social app built on a simple idea: influence and intelligence are not the same thing, and your feed should show you both. Every other social network ranks you by one number — followers, likes, views. That single "Influence" score is exactly why misinformation and shouting matches win: the loudest account, not the most correct one, rises to the top. Renga adds a second axis. TWO SCORES, ONE HEALTHIER FEED • Influence — the familiar metric: followers, reposts, reach. • Intellect — a quality score built from short logic quizzes, your track record on fact-checks, and endorsements from other high-Intellect users. Plotting both together means a small account with sharp reasoning can outrank a huge account with sloppy takes — and it means loud accounts can't hide behind follower counts alone. A FEED FOR EVERYONE, A LOUNGE FOR THE SHARPEST • Feed — open to all. Post, reply, repost, and scroll a lively public timeline, just like the social apps you already know. • Discover — a quieter space where only users in the top 25% by Intellect can post and start fact-checks, so the signal-to-noise ratio stays high. Everyone can read it; only the vetted can add to it. • A one-tap Layer Filter lets you view any timeline as "Everyone," "Top 25%," or "Top 5%" — see the conversation the way you want to see it. TRUTH VOTES, NOT TAKEDOWNS Instead of moderators unilaterally slapping a "false" label on a post, Renga lets qualified users open a Truth Vote on any claim that looks suspicious. During voting, the current tally stays hidden so nobody just piles onto the "winning" side — everyone has to actually judge the claim on its merits. When the vote closes, the result appears as a simple green/red meter right on the post: instant, visual, and driven by the community's best reasoners rather than a faceless algorithm. THOUGHT POWER: BUILT ON YOUR THINKING, NOT YOUR WALLET Answer quick daily logic puzzles to build Thought Power (TP), Renga's in-app currency. Use TP to post, boost a great take from the everyday Feed into the curated Discover lounge, or unlock cosmetic profile flair. TP is a virtual point system only — it has no cash value and cannot be purchased for real-world winnings. Some of the app's rarest cosmetics are reserved for users who earn and hold a high Intellect rank, so status stays meaningful even if you also top up TP along the way. BADGES THAT ONLY EVER ADD UP Reach the top 25 / 10 / 5 / 1% and you'll see a badge on your profile — there is no "low score" label, no public shaming, and no visible penalty tier. Renga is designed to reward good thinking, never to humiliate anyone. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'D EXPECT FROM A MODERN SOCIAL APP • Share photos and multi-photo posts, upload video with smooth adaptive streaming, or drop in a YouTube link for an instant inline player. • Like, comment (with threaded replies and media), repost, or quote-repost — all the essentials, presented with a clean, familiar action bar. • Direct messages with real-time delivery, read receipts, and one-tap translation for cross-language conversations. • Automatic translation on posts and messages written in a different language than your display language. • Every post, video, and profile has a one-tap report button, and uploads pass through automated safety screening before and after they go live. A GLOBAL APP, BUILT BILINGUAL FROM DAY ONE Renga ships in English and Japanese, with the interface following your device language automatically. Renga is free to download and supports ads to keep it that way. No subscription is required to participate, vote, or climb the Intellect ranks. Join Renga and help build a feed where good arguments — not just big followings — get the last word.
