moop

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built moop because social media has become visual, loud, and a honeypot for brainrotting. Meanwhile, the internet’s best culture still lives and dies through lists. Best movies. Worst first-date spots. Books that changed your brain. Restaurants you’d gatekeep. Things you’d die defending. moop is a text-only social network for lists. You can create lists about anything, follow people for their taste, jump to new lists through shared elements, and remix lists into your own version. The idea is simple: instead of a social graph based on likes and clicks, moop creates a the network effect through genuine taste and creativity. We’d love feedback on three things: 1. Does the item-to-other-lists discovery loop feel intuitive? 2. What list categories would you want to see more of? 3. Does moop feel more like a social network, a discovery tool, or something else? Thanks for checking it out! We’ll be here all day responding to comments.

<p>Text-only lists? Into it. I already stash movie recs + food spots in Notes, so this clicks. The item-&gt;other lists hop made sense after a minute. Feels more discovery than social. Would love more hyper-local stuff (cheap eats, late-night spots) and “comfort rewatches.”</p>

I think that concept of taste is something more people should be engaging with. AI doesn’t have taste like a human does. So understand and refining our ‘taste’ is an important human effort. Good luck

<p>the brainrot framing is doing real positioning work here because it names the specific feeling the product is designed against. but i'd want to understand the mechanism. most social networks that promise to be different from doomscrolling still end up optimizing for engagement once they have users and engagement metrics tend to reward the same things everywhere. what's the specific design decision in moop that makes it structurally different rather than just aesthetically different</p>
