margin

Friendship, with room around it.

A place for the people in your life. And a little more space for life itself. A design reference for the Margin portfolio concept.

Catch up. Then carry on.

Margin is a social media website for keeping up with friends. A café they found, a photograph from a walk, something they’ve been thinking about. Ordinary things, from people you know.

Your feed runs newest first, without ads, recommended strangers or like counts. It has an end, so you can catch up and get back to your day.

A little room around it.

Share up to three regular posts a day, or one link post if it’s your only post that day. Posts expire after 30 days. Keep up to 20 photographs in Gallery. It’s an allowance, not a quota.

How Margin works

More ways to stay close.

Reply beneath a post, message a friend, or make plans in an invitation-only Space. Your profile brings together your introduction, photographs, On Repeat song and optional Top 4 friends.

Why I made Margin

I developed Margin to get back to social media that isn’t hyperfocused on everyone else, but centered on the people you care about. A way to catch up without being bombarded by a trillion ads.

I really enjoy minimalism and try to practice it in my everyday life. After a long shift, on my drive home, I thought to myself: how would that look in social media form?

Could it be better? Is this what people want?

An independent project

Margin is an individual’s independent project, based in California. Our planned launch is for adults in the United States, joining by invitation. An invitation doesn’t make you friends automatically; you both choose that separately.
