A small, private place
Keep up with yourself.
Social media helped us keep up with everyone else. mySlate helps us keep up with ourselves — and the few people who actually matter to us.
Your Slate
Who you are, right now.
Not a profile. A page that changes as you change — what you’re obsessed with, what you’re questioning, what you’re quietly hoping for. It never feels finished, because you aren’t.
Windows are glimpses: glanceable, a sentence or a list. Doors are entrances into something deeper — a long answer, a set of memories, thoughts that evolve over months.
Make it minimal, colourful, scrapbooky or editorial. Or don’t touch a thing: the defaults are made to be beautiful without any design work.
Links, not followers.
Keys, not settings.
You Link with people you actually know — mutually, deliberately. There is no one to discover and no one to discover you.
Every Window and Door has its own privacy: anyone with your link, your Links, or only you. And for the truly private Doors, you can give one person a Key — for a while, or for good. Take it back any time.
Enforced by the database, not the interface
I don’t think you realise how good you are at…
…making a room feel like it was built for the people in it.
— Kenji
The other half
How the people who know you see you.
We’re sometimes mistaken about ourselves — not because we want to be, but because nobody gave us the perspective we were missing. Links can leave you Notes: appreciation, memories, encouragement, honest observations. They arrive privately. You decide what gets pinned to your Slate, and who sees it.
In its simplest form
- You have a Slate.
- Other people have Slates.
- You can search for someone you already know.
- You can share your Slate anywhere.
- Everything else lives inside the Slate.
The simplicity isn’t a limitation. It’s the point. Two places — My Slate and People — and conversations stay on the apps you already use.
What we will never build
