How a post spreads
A new post first goes to a few people in its channel. Anyone who gets it can forward it to a few more. It keeps spreading as long as people keep forwarding it.
Public beta
A feed carried by people, not an algorithm.
Peerkola has no ranking model. A new post goes to a handful of readers in its channel, and it travels exactly as far as people keep passing it on. Everything that reaches you is there because someone chose to carry it.
Runs in the browser · nothing to install · free while in beta.
One post, four readers, no algorithm in between.
No ranking modelNothing is scored, boosted, or optimised for time spent.
Forward or dropEvery post waits for your decision, then leaves your feed.
Read first, then postReviewing earns tokens, posting costs them. You can’t buy them.
How it works
Four ideas that build on each other.
Posts are passed from person to person, so nothing needs sorting. You decide what goes further, and posting costs tokens you earn by reviewing.

Your feed isn’t sorted
Most apps sort your feed to keep you scrolling. Peerkola doesn’t sort anything. A post reaches you because the people before you forwarded it. That’s also why your feed can be empty now and then.

Forward or drop
Each post in your feed waits for your decision. Forward it, and it goes to people who haven’t seen it yet. Drop it, and it stops with you. Either way, it then leaves your feed.

Tokens
Every post you review earns you a token, whether you forward it or drop it. Posting costs tokens. You can’t buy them. That way, reading counts as much as writing, and everyone has the same chance to be heard.

support@peerkola.comReporting from inside the app
The app has a feedback form on the profile screen and on the sign-in screen. The second one works signed out, so “I can’t log in” is still reportable. You can attach a screenshot or a screen recording, and send it anonymously.
