I built a mobile app for reading and sharing poetry and short stories, without AI and without ads - Would love to get beta users and testers who interested for feedback

Hi,

I started reading and writing poetry a couple of years ago and couldn't really find the right place to read or publish it. Traditional social media... it's just not good for that. And with the rise of AI it became even harder and more frustrating to use these platforms.

So I started building a new place on my own: a poetry dedicated app that's easy to use, open for anyone to publish on, and free. A good place on the internet where you can focus on reading, without ads and without wondering whether something is AI generated or made by a real person.

It centers around community features: creating and sharing collections, giving feedback, and getting recommendations from people you follow.

I've dedicated the last year and a half to this, quit my job to focus on it full time, and now it's finally ready to share. I'd love for you to give the beta a try, and to hear what you think here or at poet society discord channel.

Thank you for reading the post, and good luck to all devs and testers :)

LPT: Turn off Volume Equalizer in your music app - Especially when listening to full albums

This setting is probably turned on by people who played a playlist and got jumpscared once or twice. I am not sure if it’s turned on by default.

But when listening to albums it should definitely be turned off, lot of artist use dynamic volume as a tool in their albums, as an album aims for a full story.

Pink Floyd is the most popular example, listening to any of their full albums with and without volume equalizer would be a complete different experience.

Is the creator of "Sometimes I pour milk down the drain just to watch it go" still here? He deleted his old account and poems

This has been one of the best poems I've read in Reddit, I saved it and remembered it today to share with a friend, only to realize it was deleted after an hour of search.

Is the creator still around? Or does anyone have a copy of this?
