Scott Reimers d1036a2d7d Website: rewrite front page for people who quit social media
Shifted angle from "better social network" to "return to what it was."
Updated features (video/audio/files, Windows), removed aspirational claims,
reframed limitations as intentional design choices.

<h2>Your feed, your way</h2>
<p>When you open ItsGoin, you see posts from your family and friends &mdash; <strong>newest first</strong>. That's it. No algorithm choosing what to show you, no promoted content, no engagement bait pushed to the top.</p>
<p>It's just a feed of the people you chose to follow, in the order they posted. The way it used to be. The way it should have stayed.</p>
<p><strong>Nobody controls what you say. Nobody controls what you see.</strong></p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>No account. No ads. No catch.</h2>
<p>Open the app. Pick a name. You're in. No email address. No phone number. No verification. No sign-up form. No terms of service to accept.</p>
<p>There are no ads &mdash; not because we chose not to run them, but because there's <strong>no company in the middle</strong> to sell them. There never will be. There <em>can't</em> be.</p>
<p>ItsGoin is free forever. Not "free with limits" or "free for now." It's open source under the <strong>Apache 2.0 license</strong>. Nobody can take it away, change the rules, or sell your attention.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Why this exists</h2>
<p>You probably stopped using social media. Most people have. The platforms got worse every year &mdash; more ads, more manipulation, more drama engineered for engagement. The thing that once connected you to the people you care about became a machine designed to keep you angry and scrolling.</p>
<p>The root cause was always the same: one company owns the server, so they own you. ItsGoin removes the middleman entirely. <strong>Your data lives on your device.</strong> Your connections are private because of how it's built, not because of a promise someone made.</p>
<p>This isn't another platform trying to be the next big thing. It's a return to what social media was supposed to be: <strong>a way to stay connected to your people</strong>.</p>

<h2>What you get</h2>
<div class="features">
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-blue">feed</div>
<h3>Your feed, not an algorithm's</h3>
<p>Family and friends, newest first. See what they recommend if you want. You choose &mdash; always.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-green">E2E</div>
<h3>Private messages that are actually private</h3>
<p>Your messages are encrypted so only you and the recipient can read them. Not the network. Not us. Nobody.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-amber">eye</div>
<h3>Who you follow is your business</h3>
<p>Your follow list is hidden from everyone. The network works without knowing your social connections. Even your contacts can't see your full list.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-green">grp</div>
<h3>Private circles</h3>
<p>Create groups for family, close friends, your team. What's shared in a circle stays in the circle.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-amber">file</div>
<h3>Share everything</h3>
<p>Photos, videos, audio, documents &mdash; attach any file type to your posts. Shared directly between devices, no cloud upload.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-blue">own</div>
<h3>You own everything</h3>
<p>Your posts, your connections, your identity &mdash; all on your device. No account to delete because there's no account to create.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-green">net</div>
<h3>Can't be shut down</h3>
<p>There's no server to unplug. No company to go bankrupt. As long as people run the app, the network exists.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature">
<div class="icon icon-blue">app</div>
<h3>Android, Linux, and Windows</h3>
<p>Phone, laptop, desktop. Download the app and go &mdash; no account creation, no waiting for an invite.</p>
</div>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Who is this for?</h2>
<p><strong>Families</strong> who stopped sharing photos online because they didn't trust who was watching.</p>
<p><strong>Friend groups</strong> scattered across text threads and group chats, missing the days when you could just&hellip; see what everyone was up to.</p>
<p><strong>People who quit</strong> social media entirely and thought they'd never go back.</p>
<p><strong>Anyone</strong> who remembers what social media felt like before it went wrong.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Honest about what we are</h2>
<p>We believe in being upfront:</p>
<div class="card">
<h3>Built for your people, not everyone</h3>
<p>ItsGoin is for sharing with the people you know and care about. It's not trying to be a public broadcast platform or a place to go viral. Think family group chat with a feed, not Twitter.</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Your network keeps your posts alive</h3>
<p>Posts are replicated across your connections automatically. The more people in your circle, the more available your content stays. It's social sharing powered by the people who care, not a server farm.</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Growing through real connections</h3>
<p>You find people the way you find friends &mdash; through the people you already know. No global search, no trending page, no strangers in your feed. This is intentional.</p>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Get involved</h2>
<p>ItsGoin is open source and always will be. Built by one person who missed what social media used to be. It works today &mdash; and it could use your help to get even better.</p>
