Please describe your proposed solution
FYI: VYRA is already live and currently has 842 users.
There's no need to explain what goes on other social media platforms or how user data is used. Clearly, we use these platforms daily without much thought. Many people aren't concerned about what happens to their data, perhaps because they don't know enough or simply don't care.
VYRA's fundamental principles are privacy and data protection.
Everyone should be able to disclose what they want, whether under a nickname or their real name. The goal is to create a place where users don't have to worry about the aforementioned issues.
Attached are some details about VYRA and its features
Introduction
VYRA is a social network that allows users to connect and share content with each other. It’s free to use!! Users can share links, photos, videos, polls, and projects, creating a dynamic and engaging community.
In addition, users can create their own Rooms, which function as personalized spaces within the network, enabling them to collaborate on projects, share ideas, and discuss topics with others who share their interests.
VYRA also provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily navigate and access the features of the platform.
Login/ Register
VYRA does not require users to provide personal information or email addresses. Instead, users can only log in to the platform using their Cardano wallets, ensuring that user data is secure.
Wallet privacy
Can VYRA see this data and associate the user’s profile with their wallet address?
No, it uses hashes and doesn’t store the addresses from the logins.
Rooms
VYRA allows users to share and collaborate on content through its Rooms feature, enabling users to create personalized spaces where they can work on projects and discuss topics with others who share their interests.
Privacy
We do not store any data and do not use any analytic tools, etc.
By logging in with a wallet, we don’t know who you are, so you’re completely anonymous. Even if you create a login with a “Vyra-Handle” you remain completely anonymous because we don’t receive any information about you there either. This is also a reason why we’re avoiding a traditional app.
Advertising
We will not display any advertisements. In the future, there will be a section for featured projects and partners, but there will never be any traditional advertising.
Supported wallets
Nami, Eternl, Yoroi, Flint, Typhon, GeroWallet, Cardwallet, NuFi, Lace, VESPR.
More will follow.
APP Store/Google Play
We have a PWA-APP. As a user, you won’t notice the difference, but this way, we avoid all the Apple/Google stuff. After Wallet-Connect, you can create a password and use it to log in to the PWA-APP. If you forget your password, you can simply reconnect via Wallet (using the same one you signed up with) and change your password.
We don’t collect any data from you and don’t want others to either.
If you’re suspicious, which I understand, just use a Wallet account exclusively for VYRA.
PS: If we receive support from Catalyst, there will also be an app available in both stores. This way, each user can decide how much of their privacy they are willing to share.
Push Notifications
Yes, you can opt in after logging in and receive notifications similar to X for messages, likes, etc.
Reporting function
After 5 reports, the post, user, or room will be temporarily hidden, and the main admin will need to review it. Our goal is to empower users to moderate the site. However, if users report content solely because they don’t like the person, the reporting function will be disabled for that user for a certain period.
