Tired of hyper-optimized algorithms? Randomverse is a social experience built on pure serendipity. Every photo, video, or thought has an equal chance to be discovered globally. Built with Flutter. No tracking, no forced accounts, just unexpected connection.
The serendipity angle is genuinely refreshing, will be curious to see how it feels in practice. One thing that would help keep things interesting longer term is a lightweight "mood" or topic tag users can optionally slap on a post before tossing it into the void, just enough so people with shared interests can find each other again after a first accidental encounter.
@muharremsae1ryIt's an interesting thought, but I want to be very careful not to let the platform turn into traditional social media or standard keyword sorting.
If I do introduce something like moods or topics down the road, I'd want to put a unique Randomverse twist on it so it keeps the magic of pure serendipity intact.
Right now, the goal is to test this core concept first and see how people react to an unmanipulated, democratic feed. If it takes off, I'll definitely look into expanding the features while protecting that core philosophy.
Thanks for checking it out!
Honestly the random feed thing is kind of refreshing, like I scrolled for a few minutes and found a guy's hiking video from somewhere random in Norway. No signup was a nice touch too.
@eminetuzem34272 Love that you enjoyed the friction-free, no-signup experience!
That was a massive priority for me to let people dive straight into the content.
The feed is completely real-time and random, so it's wild what turns up
Glad the serendipity is already hitting the mark. Thanks for the support!
honestly the random discovery angle is cool, but i'd love some kind of optional save or bookmark feature for posts i stumble onto and actually want to revisit later, since right now everything just kind of vanishes into the void
@dolanereme43914 This is actually the second time this has come up today, which tells me the 'fear of missing out' on a random post is a very real thing for users!
Balancing that temporary serendipity with a way to save gems is definitely turning out to be our top priority for the next update.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing the feedback.
Opened it expecting a mess of spam posts but found an actual watercolor sketch from someone in Portugal instead. The random feed idea sounds gimmicky until you actually scroll for a few minutes and feel a real sense of discovery.
@aryaferhatqjfv The pure randomness can definitely surprise you.
Just to clarify for anyone reading, the app doesn't track locations, so if you stumbled onto a Portuguese sketch, that's pure coincidence or down to whatever the creator typed in the post itself!
Glad you caught that sense of discovery
love the idea of ditching the algorithm for real. one thing that would help me stick around though is the ability to save or bookmark posts i stumble on so i can revisit them later, since discovery feels so random it would suck to lose something cool i found
Scrolling through this feels like flipping through a messy thrift store, in the best way. I found a random sunset from someone in Brazil right after a weird rant from a guy in Berlin, no algorithm needed.
@eyupk60283 That 'messy thrift store' vibe is exactly the goal!
You never know what you're going to stumble upon when you strip away the algorithms and just let people post globally in real time.
Glad you're enjoying the ride from Brazil to Berlin, haha
Thanks for checking it out!
