Oh no! Not another app/website! 

Well, yes, and no. 

Like many, I found myself frustrated with Facebook, but also frustrated with apps that don't have websites. 

I wanted to build a more flexible community, that is focused on inclusivity as well as community building.
It seems on most apps, inclusivity of relationship models, orientations, and genders is hard to find, and despite asking for years, it's not a native part of FB.

I really wanted a place people could find an online home, that is not just their home but everyone's. A place to bring the whole polycule to, to  hang out. 

Right now, this is an experiment, “Can this work?” is where I am at right now, and, to find that out, we need to grow, add members, and become fairly active. 

The website right now is on a smaller server, we can scale as we grow. 

Feedback is welcome, I can't make this a better service for us all without it. Ideas are also welcome!
