Stories disappear after 24 hours. Favorite and comment the same as on galleries. Feeds Pin the ones you want: following, For You, by camera body, or by location with a map. Mentions, hashtags, links @mention people, add #hashtags, paste links. All tappable. Sign in with your Bluesky account No new password. Your Bluesky handle and followers come with you.

EmailChat is a messenger built on top of standard email. No VPNs, no new accounts, no central servers. Your email address is your identity. Sign in and start chatting instantly. How it works Every message is sent as an email behind the scenes, but you never see email formatting. EmailChat transforms email into a modern chat experience: * Message bubbles * Real-time delivery * Media and file sharing * Groups and channels You get the experience of WhatsApp or Telegram, powered by email infrastructure. Why EmailChat * Works where other messengers are blocked * Email is core internet infrastructure and cannot be easily restricted * No registration required - Use Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, ProtonMail, or any email provider * No VPN needed - Standard email protocols work everywhere * No network problem Everyone already has email — you can message anyone immediately *Familiar interface, No “Subject” or “To” fields — just chat Features * 1-on-1 direct messages * Group chats * Channels * Text messages and replies * Photo and file sharing * Search across conversations Coming next * Voice messages * Reactions and stickers * Multi-device support EmailChat is not a new network. It is a new way to use the one that already exists.
