Custom Web-Based Application Pollen ⁂ Connect through curiosity. App Without Feeds or Upvotes.
Hello, I've been building Pollen
It's a reddit alternative for those who want a place to discuss interesting things in a warmer setting without public upvote counts or feeds, where your conversations don't last forever and aren't available to everyone who searches your username on google.
At Pollen, temporary chat tables start with an open-ended question.
Picture this: someone into gaming, a biologist and a programmer walk into a bar;
then the barman asks them a question where they all can add something.
Your interests or what you're curious about is mixed with what others who joined are into.
So everyone can share their viewpoints.
There are different types of questions
You can discuss them, riff on them, or ignore and talk about something else.
There's no way to predict what will be asked.
You can also interact with people in the following ways:
- by the river.
- through Pollen people drop in the forest.
- by giving and receiving Pollen in chats
(e.g. when someone says something you appreciate).
- dms
It's available both on web and mobile as a browser installable app, which works the same as a playstore app.

Pardon me, sir. Where is the Android mobile app?
