What you can do

Ripple is a warm, local-first social feed that feels alive the moment it opens: nine seeded creators and a feed of posts with colour tiles, tags, likes, comments and bookmarks live on the device. Scroll the feed, open a post to read and add comments, follow creators from their profiles, and explore trending tags and creators to follow. Your own profile holds your name and bio, your posts and a guarded restore of the sample feed. Nothing leaves the phone: every post, comment, like and follow lives in a persisted store with no account, backend or setup.

Made forAnyone who wants a friendly, private social feed on their phone, or a starting point for a community app without signing up for a service.

Backend

Local-first by design: the app opens directly into the feed and every workflow works without network access, account creation or environment variables.
A granular Zustand store owns post, comment, like, bookmark, follow and profile actions; AsyncStorage rehydrates the snapshot on launch.
The sample feed is seeded once on first launch and can be restored from Profile after confirmation.
No remote database, server function, environment variable or API key is required.
