About

Nothings

Features
Read full description

People less cynical than myself have called it hope-scrolling. Nothings is an attempt to reinforce the positive habit of reading poetry. Along with a feed that matches poems to your mood, there's a new poem every day, and you can create and curate your own poetry collections. This app also matches art to poems, and there's a poetry news feed that acts as a window into more contemporary publications. There's no ads, no subscription and your data is not shared with third parties. Our goal is to fund server costs through book sales.
