Every day: question, stories, events, and the time you choose
What it is
Five everyday things, done the ERERE way: a private daily question, stories that vanish after 24 hours, events in your circles, a choice of how to see things (with the reason), and a time limit you set yourself.
Why it exists
The most used apps have these features but use them to keep you. Here they serve you: no rankings, no scores, no hidden ordering, no imposed blocks.
How it works for you
- Daily question: the same question for everyone; your answer is yours alone. You see a streak of days, not a score.
- Stories: short text visible only to people with you in a circle; gone after 24 hours; you see how many people saw it, not who.
- Events: in circles, with "I'm in / I'm out" and a reminder the day before.
- How I see things: most recent first, people close to me first, my interests first; each item says "why you see it".
- My time: pick a daily limit; when you reach it I tell you once and you decide. Each week you see how much you used.
- Finding acquaintances: only if both of you chose to be findable; your address book never leaves in the clear.
- Circle types: family, school, group, office, interest, channel.
What you give
For stories and events, the text you write. For the time limit, a count of minutes with the app open.
What you get
More control over what you see and the time you spend in the app, and notices in the bell.
What you choose
Everything: order, limit, whether to be findable. The limit is yours and blocks nothing.
Honest limits
ERERE does not yet have a public content feed: the ordering choice and the "why you see it" are ready and apply to any list that gets ordered. Finding acquaintances uses email fingerprints: it protects against casual reading but not against someone trying addresses one by one, which is why there are limits (3 searches and 200 fingerprints a day) and both people must agree. Office, interest and channel circles have the same safety rules as existing circles; channels with very many members are not yet proven.
Where it stands
In the system and proven by automated tests. To try with real people: everyday use and how clear the texts are.
