In development -- building in the open

A social network
built to actually work for you.

iBABL brings back real conversation: chronological feeds, no ad-driven manipulation, and communities built around what you're actually into -- not what keeps you scrolling.

No spam -- just a heads-up when we launch.

Built differently, on purpose

Every default was a decision. Here's what we changed, and why.

Chronological, always

Your feed shows what people actually posted, in the order they posted it -- no ranking algorithm deciding what you're "supposed" to see.

Privacy by default

Your data stays yours. No shadow profiles, no ad-targeting engine quietly built behind the scenes.

Real communities

Spaces organized around actual interests and people, not an algorithm's guess at what will keep you engaged.

No dark patterns

No infinite-scroll traps, no manufactured notifications designed to pull you back in. It's your time.

Why we're building this

Most social platforms today are built to hold your attention as long as possible, because that's what their business model rewards. We think a social network should be judged by something else entirely: whether the time you spend on it actually feels good afterward.

iBABL is being built from the ground up around that idea -- starting with the feed, the privacy model, and the incentives, not just the interface on top of them.
