The story

Built by one artist. Made for everyone.

FLY(er) didn't come from a boardroom. It came from someone who wanted the timeline back.

The FLY(er) app icon: a black crown on cream

"A social network with no ads and no algorithm, where the words do the work."

FLY(er) was designed and built by Joseph Rochlin, the independent recording artist known as Jöí Fabü. He wanted a place where the people setting the culture and the people who love it share the same room, where a timeline is simply the people you chose, and where a checkmark is something you are, not something you buy.

So he built it, from the database to the app, and named it after the feeling it should give you: FLY, with the (er) waiting for whoever joins.
