Mendal

I built Mendel because I was frustrated with how social media slowly shifted from being intent-driven to algorithm-driven. I’d open YouTube, X, or LinkedIn to learn something specific… and 20 minutes later, I’d realize I was consuming completely unrelated content. Not because I wanted to — but because the feed decided for me. That’s when the idea clicked: What if the feed adapted to my intent, instead of my attention? While building Mendel, the approach evolved from a simple filter into a more thoughtful, privacy-first system where everything works locally and the user stays in control. No blocking, no tracking — just clarity.
