if you're just here to pregister and don't want to read all the yap, just scroll down to the very bottom (i won't judge)
i got tired of other social media platforms and wanted a way to truly express and customize my profile. so i decided to take the best features from all of them, at least from my experience, and create something new!
it's going to be a cozy little corner of the internet where you can express yourself! think of it as your own personal space but with extra cuteness ✨
i'm actively working on kutesocial in my free time! while it's still very early in development, i wanted to give everyone a chance to claim their usernames early. this way, you won't have to worry about someone else taking your preferred username when we launch!
hallo i'm currently seeing steady development so i'm quite confident to release an mvp by february 2025
here are the features expected:
we'll be consolidating the closed beta and alpha into one stage. in addition to the following features below, i'll also be targeting getting 100+ early alpha adopters. if you're interested, preregister here!
i'll be moving the public beta earlier and giving it time to run longer due to the moved alpha/closed beta. feedback is always good! and contributions are always welcome!
as soon as the project matures, i'll eventually release 1.0! it doesn't really matter because i'm not asking you to download anything
mobile apps are part of the roadmap! i'm looking into developing an ios and android app for kutesocial in the future should there be interest in this project
anywhooo, here's some of the most frequently asked questions
it was originally supposed to be cute.social, but cute.social is too expensive.
because i like the ring to it. it's pronounced koot not cute but whatever floats your boat btw
yop! kute is free and will always be free!
nop! for analytics we'll be using an open source privacy respecting google analytics alternative, something like matomo or umami.
if you're interested, preregister here!
of course! if you're willing to help out on the project, i will be giving full complete source code (once the early access launches) and be of assistance! join our discord and talk to me on the #core-development or #devtalk channel and i'm glad to have you on board!

with help from reports and the community, maybe potentially integrate some sort of community notes
currently not in the plans, but you can attempt selfhosting it yourself. however it will be disconnected from the main kute.social instance
the goal is to make an easy to use and not a pain in the ass social media, true decentralization has its benefits but it also has its downsides and as far as i'm concerned i'm not going to deal with that.
you know how you can have xxxxx.carrd.co? we plan to have that as well! its just your profile without the social media available on yourusername.kute.bio
kutesocial will primarily be run out of pocket or donations via github sponsors or foss licenses. i will in turn be giving back priority feature requests and a custom badge (customizable, and it shows up in your profile too!) that says you've supported kutesocial!
yop! running a service does have its associated costs, but if it means making a social media that people love and not hate and is actually about the user? i'm down for it. (also i'm making this because other social medias suck)
