[Closed Beta] Vibe — a values-based social app for real connection (Android 8+)
Hey r/alphaandbetausers 👋
Looking for testers for Vibe, a mobile-first social app I've been building. It's a smaller, calmer alternative to the big platforms — built around your core values rather than follower counts, with a focus on real 1:1 conversations.
What's in the build:
- Onboarding with core-values selection + profile setup
- Feed: posts, photos, GIFs, reactions, comments, u/mentions
- Friend requests + friends list
- 1:1 DMs with typing indicators, read receipts, message reactions, image sharing
- Notifications (friend requests, reactions, mentions, DMs) with push
- AI content moderation (NSFW/violent/hateful filtering)
- Block, report, pause account, full account deletion
- Google Sign-In + email/password
- Light/dark theme, system-synced
What I need feedback on:
- Crashes, ANRs, weird UI on your device/OS combo
- Onboarding flow — is anything confusing?
- Push notification reliability (especially on OEMs that kill background apps — Xiaomi, Oppo, Samsung, etc.)
- Sign-in flow (Google OAuth + email)
- Messaging — typing/read receipts/realtime delivery
- Anything that just feels off
Tester expectations:
- Use it for at least 14 days
- Report bugs here, in DM, or via the in-app feedback option
- Be cool — there's a Community Guidelines + reporting system, please use it
Privacy: Standard stuff — privacy policy, terms, child safety standards, and account deletion all live in-app. No ads, no data selling.
