About

Most apps are free because you are the product. Social Web is different — and so is the way it's built. We don't have ads — which means we have no reason to track what you search for, no algorithm deciding what you see, and no company building a profile on who you are. We make money because you pay us a fair price. That's it. That's the whole deal. Everything in one place. Almost nothing to pay. Built for people, not profit. Social Web combines private messaging, a news feed, and internet search in one app — built on open internet standards that no single company owns or controls. And here's what makes it different from every other app on this list: your data doesn't live on our servers. It lives on yours. WHAT YOU GET: — Private group messaging where messages live on your own server, not ours — Follow Reddit, YouTube, podcasts, local news, and more in one clean feed — Search RSS feeds and the open internet without being tracked — Host your own Social Web server and own everything — your data, your conversations, your archive — No ads. No algorithm. No data collection. Ever. — Available for less than a dollar a month — because privacy shouldn't be a luxury WHY IT'S DIFFERENT: Every other messaging app, news reader, and search tool you use is making money from your attention and your data. We don't. We built Social Web because we believe the internet was meant to belong to the people using it — not the companies profiting from it. With Social Web, you can run your own server. Your messages are stored where you decide. No company can delete your account, shut down your archive, or change the terms on you. If Social Web disappeared tomorrow, your data would still be there — readable by any RSS client in the world, because it's built on open standards, not proprietary lock-in. No ads means no reason to watch you. No algorithm means no one is engineering what you think or feel. No data profiles means you are a person, not a product. The internet, the way it was meant to be.

October 14, 2026

- Find Sources: opening animation jitters, and a fast swipe-to-close shifts the app and shows a black space - Feed tab button should scroll to top, then refresh on a second press - Password change: a token save failure "Network error. Try again." - a11y: pressable rows that hold labelled buttons carry no label of their own - Browser web results: a located search returns off-subject pages (thanks Cade Nelson) - chat bug - Subscriber servers register with the host hub only at subscribe time - Feed tab: pull-to-refresh loads new posts above the current top post, forcing the user to scroll up to see them - don't flash the old results before "Narrow this down" - Find Sources: back button on a narrowed result goes to the Feed tab instead of back one step; remove the breadcrumb - Find Sources: opening animation jitters, and a fast swipe-to-close shifts the app and shows a black space - Signing in while already signed in keeps the previous account's data - Group chat: timestamp under every message breaks up consecutive messages from the same sender - Plugins: toggling a plugin flashes the other toggles grey and leaves one greyed out and untappable - Feed tab: bring the "X new posts" refresh indicator from desktop to mobile - Chats: add the ability to reply to a specific message - Chats: new messages don't appear live in an open chat and are slow to show up - Chat: message bar doesn't follow the keyboard down when swiping to dismiss it - Feeds tab: short, wide Reddit images don't display fully in the large image view - Find Sources: a narrowed result should list all sources for the topic instead of posts from followed sources
