wirex is a spacehey alternative. same idea as the old social internet: a page that is yours to style, a journal, friends you actually know, a guestbook, and music sitting on your page. only smaller, darker, and with nothing between you and the people you follow.

i keep it running for me and my friends. anyone can make an account.

you get a profile, a journal, a guestbook, bulletins, messages and a place to put your music. that is the whole thing. no feed sorting, no ads, nothing tracked, no notifications nagging you.

why not spacehey

if spacehey already exists, why this? because i wanted one i could read end to end and fix myself.

• no waiting room. sign up and you are in. no invite code to hunt for.
• no ranking. journals are newest first or most kudos, and that is the whole algorithm.
• albums are friends-only. ten photos, visible only to people you accepted.
• music stays on the site. mp3s are compressed in your browser, uploaded here, and streamed from our own storage with seeking.
• nothing is for sale. no ads, no trackers. your email is only used to prove it is you if you forget your password.

it runs on a worker and a database, and i fix things when they break.

house rules

be strange, be kind. no harassment, no doxxing, no illegal stuff, no nazis. only upload music you are allowed to share. i can delete things and ban people, and i will.

how it works

journals are posts with comments and kudos. the guestbook is public notes on a profile. music is mp3s you upload and they stream with seeking. messages are private between two people.

boring details

pictures are checked by their actual bytes (png, jpeg, gif, webp, up to 4 mb). mp3s up to 12 mb. passwords are hashed and nobody can read them. the only thing kept about you besides what you post is the email you sign up with, and it is used for exactly one thing: checking it is you when you reset a forgotten password. resets ask for the email, the handle and the display name, from a connection the account has signed in from before, and nothing is ever mailed to you.
