Need a detox from social media? Front Page is a newspaper-themed social media platform that refreshes once per day. Each post you make is queued for tomorrow’s edition. These days social media platforms are mostly entertainment platforms, designed to hold your attention and keep you scrolling. Front Page aims to be a pure social media platform, prioritising connection over attention. Say goodbye to algorithms, likes, comments and doomscrolling. This is not the place for arguing or instant gratification. Front Page is a social media platform that puts your nervous system first.
