Sprivex - A knowledge media where humans pick what you read

Hi PH 👋 maker here. I built Sprivex because I got tired of social platforms where the algorithm decides what's worth reading. Every "feed" I opened was optimized for time-on-app, not for the quality of what landed in front of me. Sprivex is a small experiment in the opposite direction: • You publish "Waves" — short-form thoughts (think: a tweet with intent, not a status update). One wave = one idea. • You pick a Spring (a topic area) at signup. That's your home stream. • Every 5 days a "Vortex" randomly assigns you a second topic as an Inflow — so you're constantly exposed to ideas outside your bubble, without choosing them yourself. • Instead of likes, readers can Lift a wave (mark it as practical / inspiring / mind-shifting) or Ripple it (add a thought, not just a reaction). It's in closed beta — 500 spots, no credit card, no ads, beta is free forever. I'd love brutal feedback on: 1. Does the "no algorithm + forced topic rotation" actually feel useful or just gimmicky? 2. Is "Wave / Spring / Vortex" terminology helpful or in the way? 3. What would make you publish your first wave (vs just lurking)? Happy to answer anything in the thread. Thanks for taking a look 🙏
