About venbi

Reclaim your feed.

venbi is a small, calm place to share your life with the people you actually know.

Somewhere along the way, social media stopped being about friends and started being about attention: feeds ranked by algorithms, suggested content, countless ads, and like counts that turn sharing into a scoreboard. venbi goes the other way.

• Your feed shows posts from your friends, and only your friends, newest first. Nothing is ranked, boosted or suggested.
• There are no ads and no tracking scripts.
• Likes are a quiet way to show appreciation. Nobody sees how many there are.
• You choose who sees each post.
• It's built so you can catch up and put your phone down.

venbi is meant to feel more like a shared photo album among friends than a stage. It's for the photos and thoughts you'd happily share with people you care about, without performing for anyone else.

venbi is small and independently run. Right now I cover the small running costs myself. If venbi ever grows enough that running it gets expensive, I may look for ways for people who want to help to chip in - a donation, or maybe an optional feature somewhere down the line. If that happens, it'll be there to help keep venbi going, not to squeeze more out of anyone who's just here to keep up with friends. venbi will never sell your data, and it won't carry advertising.
