StillHold is the opinion archive that makes thinking legible. Post your opinions. They're permanent — they can't be deleted, only revisited. At 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, we resurface each post with one question: do you still hold this? You respond with one of three states: Still — you stand by it. Evolved — your view has developed. Explain how. Recanted — you've changed your mind. Own it. Every reckoning becomes a timestamped entry attached to the original post, forming a visible chain of how your thinking has changed over time. Your profile isn't a feed — it's a living intellectual autobiography. WHY STILLHOLD EXISTS The internet has infinite memory but zero accountability. Old takes exist but are buried, and everyone tacitly agrees not to dig them up. StillHold makes the buried layer the main layer. Changing your mind is admirable. Pretending you never held the old view is not. FEATURES • Permanent opinion archive — post up to 500 characters with a category tag • Three reckoning states — Still, Evolved, or Recanted, each with explanation • Evolution Feed — see people changing their minds in real time • Half-baked tag — thinking out loud without the pressure • Profile metrics — grapple rate, archive depth, unreckoned count • Scheduled posts — cool off for 1, 6, or 24 hours before committing • Drafts — save half-formed thoughts before they go on the record • Weekly community prompts — cohort questions that resurface together • Shareable chain images — share your reckoning history as a card • Full-text search of your own archive • Follow users globally or by category • Invite codes for beta • Push notifications for resurface prompts • AI content moderation — every post reviewed for safety • Data export — download everything (GDPR/CCPA compliant) • Account deletion with 30-day cooling-off period • Sign in with Apple MODERATION & SAFETY StillHold moderates behavior, not beliefs. Controversial, unpopular, and uncomfortable opinions are explicitly welcome. We block harassment, threats, doxxing, and illegal content. Every post is reviewed by AI before publication. Users can report, block, and hide content. We review all reports within 24 hours. Free to use. No ads. No tracking.
