Hey there! 👋 TL;DR: The Abyss is like a secret place where you can share your thoughts, whether they're happy or sad. It's not just about stories, you can talk about anything you like, even tech stuff or big ideas. Imagine The Abyss as a magical spot where people's thoughts come out. It's a bit like a treasure chest for thoughts! When you're here, you don't need to be shy – you can talk about anything that's in your head. You can stay hidden, like a friendly ghost, or show who you are. It's not just talking; it's like making art too! Imagine painting pictures with your words. These pictures tell stories and feelings that are hidden underneath. In The Abyss, the rules that usually keep thoughts in one place disappear. It's like your mind dancing and having fun. Welcome to The Abyss, where your creativity, exploring, and being yourself make talking super special! OH, it's open-source and we make sure that you own your data, not us!

Interesting concept! Congrats on the launch! Can I see other authors' posts in the Abyss or just my own?

this is it!! been looking for for a community accepting of the dark and scary. like public anonymous journaling. it will be fun to see the connection in ones beliefs and the resulting experience......the patterns of beingness and the life they beget.

Hi! @itsme_iam, OoO, Yes! Thank You!! P.S. Not sure if we were going for scary vibe look but hey, if you love it - then that's cool! 😅

Hi there! Just curious - are the posts uploaded permanently or visible for certain amount of time? Regardless of that, will certainly try it out. I like that you can make posts anonymously about anything you like. It is nice to put out there what you are thinking about without any second thought what others might think of that. Congratulations on the launch!

Hi! @sandradjajic, The posts are stored permanently and we didn't want to make posts open for a certain amount of time until we implement moderations to create a safe environment for everybody in the platform :D P.S. Thank You!

One small feedback - For some people, the blank page can be intimidating to start off - would you plan to have some prompts or text talking to them and guiding them what to do next?

Hi! @ashna_s, We do have a 'Guide Me' button situated right next to the 'Write' button that helps people to get up-to speed on how to use the platform but I and the team will have to see how we can implement it as a whole 🤔 P.S: Thank you so much for your feedback! :D Truly appreciate it!

Hey guys! Sounds interesting, what's your data policy?
Solomon Shalom Lijo

Hi! @ashna_s, Thanks for your questions! We store your data in this manner: - Your email, profile details, posts and files attached (If anonymous, then we do not require your email) - In-terms of analytics, we use Umami to track users and their geographical base (Completely anonymous tracking, making it impossible to identify any individual user) This is basically how we store and manage your data and we're completely GDPR and CCPA compliant and the best part? We don't serve you the annoying "would you like to accept" cookie banner ;)

@solomonlijo Pretty great, liked that the app had both options - 'Users' and 'Anonymous'. All the best!

💡 Bright idea
Such a great concept. My cup of tea. https://www.theabyss.ink/deadaut... btw, for accessibility's sake, please highlight the save icon (the tick mark), or use a text there instead - spent a few good minutes to figure that out because i could only see the *make draft* and *delete* buttons when i wanted to update the slug.

Hello! @solomonlijo ! This sounds like a fantastic platform for free-thought and creativity. I was wondering, does The Abyss offer any sort of group or forum activities for its users to engage with each other's thoughts or ideas? If not, do you plan on introducing such features in the future?

Hi! @jasdeep_chhabra, As of now, we don't have it but Yes! we're on it! P.S. Thank You!

Congrats on the launch! Love the concept and can definitely see myself using something like this as I love to go on rants about things. It’s a great way to decompress and refresh mental state.

I love this. This would go great paired with a newsletter or substack that features your favorite anonymous posts. You could call it...Anonabyss.

The space is good for someone who doesn't feel like putting their thoughts out there in the open.
