About Agyata
What we build
Agyata is two small products in one web app: a news feed where each story is a single hashtag thread you can follow, like, and comment on as it develops, and an anonymous confession feed where people share things they cannot say aloud. Neither requires an account. You are a random, rerollable handle — nothing more.
Why we build it this way
Most platforms reward identity, history, and engagement streaks. Anonymity gets pushed to the edges. We thought it was worth building something that treats anonymity as the feature, not a nuisance — fewer locked-in accounts, fewer dark patterns, no follower count. You can read and follow the news, or share a confession, without ever handing over a name, email, or phone number.
How the news is made
Every story starts from real, published articles from established outlets. Our editorial process reads those sources and writes a clean, neutral summary in its own words, always linking back to the originals — the sources are shown on every update so you can check them. Developments append to the same hashtag thread over time, so a story you follow keeps growing instead of fragmenting into duplicates.
How we pay for it
Core features are free and will stay free. Agyata is ad-supported via Google AdSense, and businesses can run sponsored stories that appear in the feed clearly labelled as sponsored (see /advertise). We do not sell user data — we do not collect the kind of personal data that would be worth selling.
How small is the team
Small. A single engineer writing product code, paired with an anonymous-by-design infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers, D1). No VC, no investor pressure to grow at any cost — which is the only reason the privacy and safety defaults can be this strict.
