Aether - A photo feed with no likes, no followers, no numbers

by
Aether is a quiet corner of the internet — a feed of calming landscape, city, and everyday photos with every number removed. No likes, no follower counts, no view counters, nothing to compare or compete over. It also has a private photo mood journal: log how you feel each day and pin a photo to it, building a personal visual archive of your moods over time.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm a solo dev, and Aether started as a personal frustration: every "relaxing" app I opened was secretly a competition. Likes, followers, view counts — all of it nudging me to compare instead of unwind. So I removed every number. No likes. No followers. No counts anywhere. Just calm photos from strangers, and a private mood journal where you can pin a photo to how your day felt. It's deliberately not "engaging." There's nothing to chase, so it's easy to look at something quiet for a minute and put your phone down. Would genuinely love your honest feedback — especially whether "no numbers" actually *feels* different to you. AMA about the build (Next.js, Supabase, Cloudflare R2, AI moderation).
