About Steady.Social

Steady.Social was created from a desire to have a social network that was less about interacting with strangers and continuous engagement, and more about:

• Keeping in touch with friends and family
• Minimizing the amount of time spent on the app
• Minimizing the ability for misinformation to spread or “go viral”
• Eliminating the advertisement and data-selling aspects of social media

With these goals in mind, Steady.Social ends up being more of an “online pen pals” platform or the reading of a daily newspaper that happens to be about your friends and family than it is a place for constant online engagement. And we hope that this alternative approach to keeping in touch with friends and family is and will continue to be both a compelling and freeing experience.

It began as a side project in late 2021, and launched with an early but functional set of features in April 2022. Our core values continue to guide our design today.

You can check out our Roadmap to see where we’re planning to take the site in the future, and we welcome any feedback - be it bug reports, new features, or suggestions for future improvements!
