Jotsky scratches that itch to scroll, but with reading, not short-form content feeds. This novel and artful user experience puts words first, serving algorithmically recommended, long-form, user-written posts. Join a community of readers and writers, on Jotsky.
The social media options that exist today don't make me feel particularly good. The inescapable pictures, videos, and short-form text posts are like junk food for the brain. No depth, no nuance, all by design to keep you scrolling.
When I tried to leave these short-form content casinos, I realized how few 'conscious scrolling' alternatives even existed. Email newsletters were a boon to my healthy habits journey, but were ultimately limited and fragmented (and my email inbox is evil).
Substack is meant to be a home for articles and newsletters, yet it's built around a short-form content feed. Even in the Read tab, discovery rewards good headlines, not good writing.
Jotsky is to Substack what TikTok is to YouTube: an immersive experience that fluidly guides readers through the content itself, instead of handing them lists of options to click into blindly.
By adopting these low-barrier user experience techniques, Jotsky makes reading and writing more approachable for an audience accustomed to social media interaction patterns. You don't need to be a well known author and you don't need clickbait headlines; if people like what you write, we'll show it to more people.

Jotsky was hunted by Macay Fischer. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
