Building TeaaDrop: anonymous social without the toxicity trap
Designing an NGL-alternative with boards, voice drops, doodles, polls, disappearing posts, and AI moderation.
- TeaaDrop
- Product
- Moderation
Anonymous apps fail in two ways: they are too shallow, or they become abuse magnets. TeaaDrop aims for richer expression — text, voice, doodles, deep spills, polls — with zero sign-up and active moderation.
Product choices
- Custom boards instead of one global feed
- Disappearing tea for time/view expiry
- AI moderation before publish
- Shareable cards for Instagram/WhatsApp distribution
Anonymity is a feature and a risk. Session-based identity for spam control, without forcing accounts, is the balance we keep iterating on.
