manifesto

your network is your most valuable asset. nothing exists to tend it.

connections accumulate then atrophy. they simply sit on a list.

linkedin promised otherwise but delivered a feed.

many have correctly diagnosed this. there is a hidden graveyard of failed challengers.

waddl transcends the tar pit by providing a networking platform in its most platonic sense.

waddl embraces friction, rejects engagement, and is building for elite human capital and deep atomic networks.

waddl is architecting the social capital infrastructure layer that was never built.

inbox. where you send and receive cards directly to and from your social capital. your network, in one closed room.

graph. visualizes network as interactable nodes like an obsidian graph. prune dead connections, tend old bonds.

ritual. exchange unique codes that rotate hourly to connect. the friction is the point.

kudos. the only metric shown. earned when your network recognizes the value you provide.

additional philosophy.

  1. waddl's worth is derived in maximizing the average value of each individual user.
  2. waddl is a social engineering problem, which is herculean.
  3. waddl is invite only for quality and curation.

my next steps.

  1. craft minimum lovable product.
  2. source through already existing atomic networks and unearth pmf (low churn and high infectability).
  3. cold outreach to potential early adopters and enthusiasts and provide early access.

the professional networking os that was never built.
