The Tech Social Network Without the Noise. A focused feed for engineers, designers, and builders who want their tech reading separate from everything else. No job postings drowning out content. No random videos. No off-topic memes. Just tech — written by people who've been there. — What you get — • A curated feed of short reads ("bytes") on programming, systems, design, infrastructure, and the work behind shipping software • Real interview experiences shared by candidates and hiring engineers — what was asked, how it went, what they wish they'd known • Discussions on technical posts so you can ask follow-up questions or share your own perspective • Direct messages with other builders so a great post can turn into a real conversation • A clean profile that shows your bytes, your interview write-ups, and the topics you follow — Built for the tech reader — • Short by default. Most bytes take a minute or two to read. Long-form is for blog posts; this is for the in-between. • Ranked by relevance to your tech stack, not by who shouts loudest. Set your stack once and the feed adapts. • Code blocks render cleanly. Code in a tech feed shouldn't be an afterthought. • Universal links so a friend's "you should read this" actually opens the post in the app. — Community standards — ByteAI is moderated. Every post, comment, profile, and message has a Report button. Block any user with one tap; they won't see your content and you won't see theirs. Our moderation team reviews reports and removes content that violates our Community Guidelines. Safety-critical reports are prioritized. — Privacy — ByteAI does not run cross-app tracking, does not show ads, and does not integrate analytics or attribution SDKs. The data we collect is what we need to keep the app working — your account, the content you post, the people you follow. Read the full policy in Settings → Legal. Sign in with Apple or Google. No email/password to remember. Your account is yours; delete it any time from Settings → Account. Made for engineers who want their feed to respect their attention.
