a protocol for the social web

Build the internet only your friends can see.

A small extension. A hashtag your friends decode. Music, notes, and gestures hiding in plain sight on every page you already use.

The first ring is small.

We're letting people in slowly, in groups of friends who already know each other. Tell us your handle and what you'd want to send.

a note

The internet used to feel like it had rooms. Small ones. Some of them only your friends knew about.

Now it has a feed. Everyone posts to everyone. Every word is performed for strangers and scored by software.

Friendcoding is a thin layer over the web you already use. Your friends see one thing. Everyone else sees a hashtag they'll never click. The platforms don't have to know.

The old internet is still here. We're just going to make it private again.
