udictio is a social app shaped like a dictionary. every topic, a song, a movie, a person, a feeling like "loneliness" or "biggest regret", gets one page, and anyone can add their take to it. no feed, no follower counts, no algorithm deciding what you see. entries are chronological, voting just surfaces the standout ones, and vote counts are hidden so an entry stands on what it says. built it solo over two years. iOS for now. would love your honest take.
hey everyone, maker here.
udictio is something i've been building solo for about two years. the idea: every social app is a feed optimized to keep you scrolling. i wanted the opposite, something organized like a dictionary, where every topic (a song, a person, a feeling like "loneliness" or "biggest regret") gets one page, and anyone can add their own take to it. you read what real people actually think about a thing, all in one place, instead of scattered across a feed.
what's different: no follower counts, no algorithm deciding what you see, and vote counts are hidden on purpose so an entry stands on what it says, not on who wrote it.
it's ios for now, and a lot of pages are still empty waiting to be filled. i'd genuinely love this community's honest take, does organizing things as topic-pages instead of a feed actually appeal to you, or do you prefer the feed? building this in the open and reading every comment.
when entries are chronological, how do you stop a topic page from getting buried or just turning into a wall of low-effort takes after it grows big
How does moderation work with open entries on sensitive topics like loneliness or regret, especially with voting hidden from view?
genuinely curious how you plan to keep spam and low-effort takes off the pages once the app grows past early adopters, especially without an algorithm or follower counts to lean on
so the chronological setup is interesting, but how do you keep people from just nuking entries with downvotes or brigading? is there any moderation layer or rate limiting behind it?
