Trail

Post a link, write a thought, maybe add a photo. It shows up in the feed, in order. Nobody decides what you see except the clock.

What you can do:

• Short posts (280 characters) with links, images, or just text

• Link previews happen automatically

• Share into Trail from any app on your phone

• Global timeline and individual profiles

• Clap for posts you like (up to 50 times, because why not)

• Comments with @mentions

• Full-text search

• Notifications for claps, comments, mentions

• Mute users and report content

• RSS feeds for everything

• Light and dark theme

What's not here:

• No algorithm

• No ads

• No promoted posts

• No tracking

• No growth hacks

Trail is a hobby project, not a startup. There's no business model, no investor deck, no roadmap to become a platform. Just a place to share links and short thoughts with people.
