we're building an ios slow social app called cozy web.
cozy web is where you get a tiny ๐ 1 house to
๐ชด2 decorate,
make ๐ฅ3 friends online
๐4,
more โ๏ธ5 slowly,
more ๐6 humanly,
and ๐ญ7 more...
next feature? 1. houses react to local weather API (70%) 2. dark mode (30%)
now playing:
Sea Power - Ecstatic Vibrations, Totally Transcendent
everything is fast & efficient now, content is being "fed" to us, we're identifying with tiktok algorithm but like... have you also thought of this:
a) where do we make real friends online now?
b) how do we share life updates without performing for an algorithm?
c) where can we tend our own persistent digital corner?
cozy web will fix this:
๐ 1 decorate your tiny house and keep changing it as your life does
๐ชด2 add furniture with notes, questions, and polls that guests can interact with
๐ฅ3 find friends with same interests & vibe as yours, check out their houses
๐4 all guests show up in your guest book
โ๏ธ5 write slow letters that take time to deliver based on the timezones of your friends
๐6 the deeper you connect, the more cool stuff happens โ like unlocking shared spaces to co-decorate
that's it. just trying to make the internet a bit better. hope is punk! โ๏ธ
โ join the waitlist & book your username in the cozy web neighborhood
questions? (click to expand)
who is building this?
just two people: Farida (product, words) & Pavel (engineering, code). no team, no investors, just us & our savings.
how do you plan to make money?
optional subscription for cosmetic upgrades. dream: revenue share with various artists for custom furniture packs to match different aesthetics. maybe collabs with cozy games like stardew and unpacking??? that would be awesome. absolutely ZERO ads. no crazy growth hacking either, aim is having sustainable fun.
why ios first?
two reasons: 1) we can't afford to build for multiple platforms yet (just being real lol), and 2) your phone is the most intimate tech you own. it's in your bed, on your commute, in those lonely moments at 2 am. that's where we need to fix things first.
current status?
bootstrapped. building prototype. starting with private beta to control costs.
