A text-first microblog where posts are 140 characters, links are not allowed and the feed stays quiet.

Wuphf is a short-form social site with a simple promise: "Short thoughts. 140 characters. No links, no noise." It is a product we designed and built ourselves.
Most social platforms have grown loud and complicated. Wuphf starts from the opposite direction: a text-only feed, a hard limit on length and nothing to distract from the words.
A public timeline of short posts with each author's handle and date, plus search across the site.
Reply, repost, like and dislike, with a sign-up and log-in flow and personal profile pages.
The 140-character limit and the no-links rule are enforced by the app, which keeps the feed readable.
A minimal, dark-first layout with a light/dark toggle, small avatars and simple dividers.
An RSS feed, a skip-to-content link, a blog, and published rules and privacy pages.
A tiny, fast, opinionated product that shows what we can build from scratch when the brief is simply: make it good and keep it simple.
A smart business card platform with branded profiles, wallet passes and lead capture, designed and built by Modularity Networks.
