Inspired by the grace of Indian culture, Devalay brings back what social media was meant to be: kinder conversations, meaningful content, and a community that lifts each other up. WHY DEVALAY • A moderated feed. Photos are checked before they go live, and comments, names and bios are filtered for vulgarity and abuse. • Kinder by design. Report or block anyone in two taps; blocking works both ways. • Real people, real moments. Your feed is the people you follow — not viral noise. SHARE • Posts with photos, captions, hashtags and the place you were • Glimpses — moments that disappear after 24 hours • Repost what inspires you, save what you love CONNECT • Follow friends and creators; like, comment and reply • Private messages, with message requests from people you don't follow DISCOVER • Creators, food, travel, music, art, festivals and more • The places people are talking about — tag where you've been MADE FOR EVERYONE • Safe for families, fun for friends • English and हिन्दी · light and dark themes Social media, the way it should feel.

Marks is a social network built on one radical idea: content only survives if the community values it. Every post enters a 24-hour evaluation period. If the community engages with it, giving it "Marks", it survives. If not, it disappears permanently. No algorithm decides what you see. The community does. THE FEED STAYS WORTH READING Low-effort posts, spam, and ignored content are automatically removed. What remains is a feed where every post has proven its value to real people. HOW IT WORKS - Post up to 500 characters with photos or video - Other users give Marks to content they value - Posts that don't receive enough engagement are permanently deleted after 24 hours - The more influence you accumulate, the higher the bar. Nobody coasts. FEATURES - Dynamic threshold tiers that scale your survival standard with your reach - Community moderation via Pitchfork voting for rapid removal of low-quality content - Kredits, a recognition program that rewards quality contributors - Direct messages and group chat - Follow users and build your feed - Full-text search across posts, users, and groups - Watch Parties to watch YouTube videos together with synchronized playback and live chat - VIDA Studio for creating collaborative beats with a visual loop builder, jam rooms, and relay chains - Spotify and Letterboxd integrations on your profile - Constructivist design aesthetic that is bold, intentional, and free of visual noise BUILT DIFFERENT Most social networks optimize for time spent. Marks optimizes for quality. The disappearance mechanic isn't a gimmick. It's the core philosophy. If your content doesn't resonate, it doesn't deserve shelf space. Marks is free to use. No ads. No algorithmic manipulation.
