Nook

Nook is a social feed built around one simple idea: what is happening a few streets from you matters more than what is happening everywhere else. Every post carries a reach you choose, from 500 meters to 50 kilometers, and a lifetime you set yourself. When that time is up, the post is gone. Nothing here is trying to become a permanent record of you. HOW IT WORKS Creating an account generates a twelve word phrase on your device. That phrase is your entire account. There is no sign up form, no phone number, and no email address anywhere in the app. Your location is fuzzed before it ever leaves your phone, and rounded again on arrival at the server. It is only ever precise enough to sort a post into the right neighborhood. Write a post or record a voice note, pick how far it should travel and how long it should last, and publish it. Your account name never appears next to it. Readers see a nickname that stays consistent within your area, so regulars are recognizable without anyone learning who they actually are. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Post text or a voice note to people near you - Comment and reply with threaded conversations and mentions - Message someone directly, with typing indicators and read receipts - Discover nearby posts and people without a public profile page - Get notified of likes, comments, mentions, and messages WHAT NOOK DOES NOT DO - No photos. There is no camera or image upload feature anywhere in the app, because a photo of your street or your face identifies you far more precisely than words do - No phone number or email required to sign up - No permanent feed. Posts expire on their own schedule - No advertising trackers or data brokers BUILT FOR ANY TOWN Nook is not tied to one city. The same model works the same way anywhere: a feed scoped to a real, walkable distance, made of people who are actually nearby.
