Onny

Stop just collecting friends and start making real ones, with Onny.

Social media is broken as #$%@! We were so sick of all the divisiveness, superficial relationships and theft of our personal data built into traditional platforms. So we decided to hit the reset button on the way things are done and build a new way to social.

What did we do different?

We started with what matters to you, your interests. By adding interests to your profiles (we call them Personas), Onny will fill your feed page with the people talking about and sharing the things you’re into. There are even filters so you can control what type of content you see.

If what you’re into isn’t already in our interest pool, you can suggest new interests for Onny to add.

Next, we knew people have lots of different parts of themselves, so we tripled down on Personas. With Onny, you can create multiple Personas, three in fact. Each Persona holds unique friendships and interests. With multiple Personas you can create different versions of yourself that you share with different groups. Use your imagination because the sky’s the limit here. With one click you can change Personas and have completely new experience with new people in your community.

Oh yeah, you can even make any of your Personas Anonymous, so you can connect and share while keeping your personal identifying info private. So even if you’re a celebrity, an influencer or just a normie who wants some privacy, you get that with Onny.

Okay, so now we know some people might try to take advantage of Onny’s Anonymous feature… Screw those dirty hippies! Onny built in some really easy to use reporting tools. So you can easily block users or report them to us for a hands on review. Here’s how we handle stuff on the surface: if you block a user, we’ll block their entire account. And if someone is getting reported for being a jerk, we can ban their Persona or entire account based on how bad they were acting.

By the way, we hold ourselves to the same “No A-hole” standard we expect from our community. Onny will NEVER sell your personal information or data. Doing that is just being crappy. We plan on monetizing Onny through some more traditional ways of generating revenue. We’ll be sharing that at a later time here, but if you’re interest, feel free to shoot us an email at [email protected].

Nuts and Bolts

Discover page - Let’s say that you don’t like to make the first move, well Onny makes it a little easier. In the Discover page we’ll suggest users you’re likely to become friends with based on common interests. Finally, you can find someone that’s into Harry Potter Fan Fiction as much as you are #Gryffindor4Life! In addition, on the discover page, we’ll show you more interests you might like, the more you add the more conversations you’ll get in your feed and the more users you’re likely to connect with. You can search for specific interests and users here too.

Calendar - You can find all the events happening through Onny based on the interests and hashtags you follow in the calendar. You can make events yourself by creating a post with a date and a few hashtags related to the event, Boom you’re set. Now others will be able to find your event. In a future version we’ll be building in a join button so you can know who plans on joining you for the fun.

Friends Page – Some of these platforms feel like they’re actually going out of their way to not let you see your friends, who you’re following and who’s following you. We fixed that, with one click and you’re there.

Whew, that was a lot! What can I say it’s a big platform and we’ve only just launched. So talk to us. Tell us what you love, what you hate… honestly, we can’t fix what we don’t know about, so we need you! Thanks for joining Onny and we look forward to meeting you all real soon!

We all have far more in common than we do apart.
