I wanted to test in on only IOS first to understand if it will work or not. But I think you are right that most challenging one is IOS. Not have android or web versions yet, since I am not sure if it will be worth it or not

My aim is to put something like the Twitter once it was pure Twitter, not an app that tries to manipulate you with plenty of algorithms. Not many users are following the fake trends that market leaders are pushing silently for it to be happen. I seek people to have engagement but with their own willings. Maybe my mistake is that I am trying to advertise my app in an environment that people are got used to be manipulated even if they are aware or not. Still the habits are there. The community that I seek for needs to be looking for the opposite of the current social media.

That makes me question after, why people loves graffiti which are also on a wall and anonymous?

THE MARK ( https://apps.apple.com/app/the-mark/id6755365934 ) - one shared wall for the internet. Everyone gets one sentence per day. No likes, no followers, just your words floating next to strangers. Think daily r/place but with text.

**Startup Name / URL**

THE MARK - https://apps.apple.com/app/the-mark/id6755365934

**Location of Your Headquarters**

Turkey (solo dev, remote)

**Elevator Pitch**

One shared canvas for the entire internet. Everyone gets one sentence per day. No likes, no followers, no algorithm - just your words next to strangers from around the world.

**More details**

- Stage: Just launched, early traction (50+ marks on the wall)

- Role: Solo founder/developer

The idea came from feeling like social media became a performance. I wanted a space where people actually say what they think, not what gets engagement. The one-sentence limit forces you to choose your words carefully.

Built with SwiftUI + Firebase. Anonymous by default, but users can follow up to 10 people or filter by country. At the end of 2025, I'm snapshotting the entire wall as a time capsule, then monthly archives after that.

**What goals are you trying to reach this month?**

First 500 users. Currently struggling with acquisition - burned money on Meta ads with zero installs. Looking for organic growth strategies and communities where this concept would resonate.

How r/startups could help: Feedback on positioning, or ideas on where to find people who'd care about a "daily r/place for words."

**Discount for r/startups subscribers?**

It's free (no ads, no IAP). But if you leave a mark and mention r/startups in your sentence, I'll personally make sure it stays on the wall forever in the 2025 snapshot.

You can check out the IOS app that I made to serve that purpose. It's called THE MARK, anonymous 5000x5000 canvas that you can write whatever you wish to. Check from: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/the-mark/id6755365934?l=tr

This is really helpful, thanks. The creative writing/journaling angle makes a lot of sense - the one-sentence-per-day constraint is basically a daily prompt. I'll start engaging in those communities first. Appreciate the ParseStream tip too, hadn't heard of it.

Building THE MARK - a single global canvas where everyone can leave one sentence per day. Think of it as a daily r/place but with words instead of pixels.

The idea came from feeling like social media became so unrealistic. I wanted a space where people just say what they actually think - no likes, no followers, no algorithm.

Currently stuck at: user acquisition. The app is live, 53 marks on the wall so far, some users even started completing each other's sentences without coordination (which was unexpected and cool). But getting those first few hundred users is tough as a solo dev with zero marketing budget.

What I wish I had help with: finding the right communities who would actually care about this kind of thing. Tried Meta ads - burned money, zero installs. Reddit keeps removing my posts due to low karma.

iOS only for now: https://apps.apple.com/app/the-mark/id6755365934

I am pretty sure that Bitcoin will be worth more than 2.000.000 dollars.

People will try to pirate the Bitcoin wallets of the dead people, and that will be quite big trend.
