Yorgute — a social network without algorithms, built for real connections - DEV Community

This page introduces Yorgute, a social network designed without algorithms to foster genuine human connections. Created as a response to modern social media's focus on constant posting and engagement metrics, Yorgute emphasizes intentional interactions and chosen communities instead of infinite feeds. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Prisma, it features chronological feeds, community-based spaces, and email authentication. The platform rejects algorithmic ranking while maintaining discoverability through contextual data. Inspired by early internet platforms like Orkut but redesigned with modern technology, Yorgute embodies the philosophy: 'You are not a metric. You are a person.'
