an introduction for friends & family

hey! this is cohost, a new social media platform we’ve been working on for what, in retrospect, is a terrifyingly long time. we’re glad you’re here, and only in part because it’s hard to test a social media platform without having other people use it.

this project is still technically secret, so please don’t talk too much about it publicly until we give you the heads-up; however, we expect to be able to make a public announcement around the beginning of March.

an overview of what you can expect here:

what's the current policy on posting screenshots of good posts elsewhere (aka The Jae Tumblr Maneuver) (yeah i know you didn't invent it babe just naming it) edit: oh, to clarify i mean privately, obviously publicly is a no go.

Very cool! How does the monetization plan scale up though? I'm genuinely interested how to solve "cohost is our full time job and we do need to keep the lights on and pay rent and stuff" if all(?) the money is coming from a handful of people and even then a 5% cut of it. Is the model sustainable come growth? I don't really have an idea how much hosting/servers cost anyway but there will come a time when traffic skyrockets and at best the userbase will go global.
