Building Folkrain — social profiles falling like rain

Hey everyone, I’m Timur — a web developer building small internet experiments.

Right now I’m working on Folkrain, a weird little social discovery project where social profiles fall down the screen like rain.

The idea is simple: you add your Instagram profile, write a short message, and your profile becomes a falling drop. Other people can catch it and open the profile behind it.

It started with Instagram, and I’ve recently added TikTok, YouTube and X too.

I’m mostly exploring whether social discovery can feel more visual, playful and engaging — not just another list of profiles.

Would love to connect with indie makers, creators, and anyone who enjoys strange little web projects.
