About

Designer and engineer from a town near Nijmegen, Netherlands. Building Mirlo Social, a European social app with no likes, no algorithm, and no engagement hooks. Calm, private, mutual. Launched across Europe in June 2026. I started Mirlo after years of watching social media drift from connecting people to extracting attention from them. Mirlo is what I wished I had instead.

Mirlo - Social media for real connections. No likes, no algorithm.

Mirlo is a European social app for real human connection. Built without engagement hooks: no likes, no public comments, no algorithm, no infinite scroll. Mutual connections only, so the conversation stays between the people in it. Hosted in the EU, no ads, no data sold. Subscription-only, 14-day trial. On iOS across 30 EU countries with wider rollout planned. Made for the people who quietly closed the apps that stopped working for them.
