Manatee / Let's talk about useless stories. Peaceful SNS

Let's talk about useless things.

"Mukuri" "Having lunch now"

It doesn't have to be funny or useful.
Manatee is an SNS where you can casually write about ordinary, unremarkable days.

Write your favorite things and catchphrases in your profile, and customize the look to your taste. Peek at your friends' profiles, or leave a quick comment on today's posts.

Inspired by early Twitter, mobile phone "reality," and the atmosphere of Zenshaku Profile, it was planned and developed individually. We are currently releasing a beta version.

Create and share your own profile.

You can choose the look and colors yourself.

Simple standard design, nostalgic Zenshaku style, notebook style, and more. You can use your favorite customizations for both your profile and home timeline.

Answer a few questions to share a little about yourself.

Your favorite music, catchphrases, past life, secrets just for here.
You only need to answer the questions you want to. Blank fields won't be displayed, and you can change them later.

You can show it to friends who haven't registered.

When you turn on external sharing, you can share your profile via link. You can choose which items to display, and can even include your latest 10 public posts. Friends can view it without registering, and can join from there if interested.

What's that person doing today?

Posts are 140 characters and one photo.
Share a quick thought about things not worth reporting.

• We don't display numbers.
  Like counts, follower counts, and view counts are not displayed to you or others.
• See the daily lives of people you follow, in chronological order.
  Following requires approval. There are no quote or repost features.
• "That's it" marks a natural break.
  There's no infinite scroll—you can finish viewing at your own pace.
• You can choose what to show.
  For each post, you can choose "Everyone (registered users)" or "Followers only." External sharing is off by default. Only if you separately turn on post sharing will your latest 10 public posts be displayed to unregistered users. Follower-only posts won't be shown.

Three "Anti" principles the operators value

Anti-Attention Economy

Design that doesn't encourage monetizing attention or competing over numbers.

Anti-Dopamine

A place with no mechanisms to keep you using it longer—where you can open it when you want and leave when you want.

Anti-Self-Branding

A "place where you don't have to embellish yourself"—where you can participate without constantly presenting yourself as attractive.

These are not rules imposed on users, but design principles of the operators.

Try it out

The beta version is free. You can start from a smartphone or PC browser using a Google account. It's for ages 13 and up. Add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
