The Agora – an experimental social network

In plain words

The Agora is an experimental social network launched in 2020. It functions as a platform for users to connect and share content in novel ways. Designed for people interested in exploring alternative social networking approaches, the platform emphasizes experimentation with how online communities can be structured and function. The Agora offers a different take on traditional social media interactions and community building.

We’d love to improve it for you; in general, to make it more useful and inclusive for others. This looks like a really cool way of aggregating digital gardens into one place. To produce a community garden (or, an agora). Interesting to contrast with how a solely P2P way of connecting gardens might work, no central aggregator. An Agora is a distributed, goal-oriented social network centered around a cooperatively built and maintained [[ knowledge graph ]] . The implementation you are currently…from anagora.org

  Hi HN! I'm building Agora, an AI search engine for e-commerce that returns results in under 300ms. We've indexed 30M products and made them easy to purchase. Think of a decentralized Amazon. We've been working on an API that enables developers to embed our product data, search, purchasing, and order tracking functionality into their own app. We currently have 100k stores in the index and recrawl the entire dataset once every 24 hours. I'd love your feedback.

  I created Agora as a passion project to encourage myself to explore more on the web, write about what I found interesting and share them with my friends. With web development becoming more accessible, I hope that the web becomes more decentralized meaning that more people explore the web outside of the mega-platforms that exist today. Would appreciate feedback and people trying it out! There's an optional side panel Chrome extension that allows you to create and see posts people have made about the webpage you're currently on. I also just built out a feature where you are able to make…

  After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue▲647

  It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
