Not only is this service ad free, but it's fast and contains no analytics tracking at all. The entire app and site is built on a single JavaScript block that includes no third party code, no linked dependencies, and no remote loaded resources including CSS. The entire app can be viewed via inspect element. Server side is custom and we use NodeHost servers for the backend API. Yes you can upload images, files, edit posts and more! Anyone can create a café (community) using 500 beans, and the admin can manage users and make the café private, public, control who can view posts and what type of members can react or comment. This gives you control over your own café and the content shared. You can make other members moderators or admins and they can manage and hide posts in a café by clicking the triple dots to moderate a conversation or comment. I hope you would join and give feedback as this was mostly built in the last 2 weeks. Lot's of updates are already getting planned and we will be updating the app constantly. You can also use on iOS and Android as a PWA app with great performance, just tap share and Add To Home Screen. Thanks for taking a look and I hope you give us some feedback.

Made an account and looked around, so far I love the concept! Really fun design, very fast performance, and the beans concept is pretty cool! Really reminds me of the early 00's on the Internet, where sites were fun to use!

@zachary_fetters Thats the entire idea, I still need to add email notifications if you leave the site as there are no app notifications.

Cool idea! How are you different from FB groups?
Anthony Lee
Maker
@bharatpasam oh a lot, we run on a kinda currency for media and activity and cafés are more like hashtags that are moderated than Facebook groups.

Looks promising!! I would like to mention that there are a lot of mistakes on the grammar and spelling level in the homepage. If you'd like me o help you concerning copywriting, I am ready for it. Wish you the best. -abd

@abdelali Thanks I have made some fixes, the front page is more temporary until a fancy page is finished. I will rework it.

congratulations on the launch. What do you mean by being "fast"?
Anthony Lee

@naveed_rehman The entire app is a single JS block in the browser, so pages and more and extremely fast loading. Most pages can load once it's open within 300ms with requests, otherwise within a few MS.

Is this your unique value proposition? i mean, are the users of current social networks screaming about this problem?

look nice!
