A social feed with no strangers
Grateful is a gratitude app with a simple social layer. You write a short entry, keep it private or share it to a circle. A circle is a small private group of your own making — family, close friends, whoever you'd actually want to hear from. It shows you the most recent post first. People in the circle can react or leave a comment. There's also a daily notification that sends you something you were grateful for in the past. Try it out on both iOS and Android. Go to grateful.so
A social feed with no strangers launched on April 12, 2026 with 9 votes, #1,315 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
Remember when your feed was just your friends? Grateful is an alternative to social media apps that are designed to make you addicted with content from people you've never met. - Sign up - Create a circle and invite your friends/family - Share the small things throughout the day that you're grateful for - Share the big moments only with people you care about
Share daily moments with your closest people in private groups. A social app built around gratitude for family and close friends.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
