# Bitpers

### Who We Are

Bitpers is a visual‑first social ecosystem where images become living stories. We unite **personal memory**, **social sharing**, and **community collaboration** in one modular platform.

### What We Value

#### 1) Community‑first (Gen‑Z & Gen‑Alpha)

* **Expression > performance:** Spaces for creativity, aesthetics, and vibe—less performative, more authentic.
* **Subcultures thrive:** Topic hubs (cars, food, design), campus fests, and friend circles—each with their own norms.
* **Co‑creation:** Posting is just the start; people build together.

#### 2) Privacy by default

* Clear visibility on every space: **Private / Friends / Public**.
* **Consent‑first** discovery (Face Hunt opt‑in): users control if/where they are discoverable.
* Local‑first + encryption roadmap—no surveillance economics.

#### 3) Collaboration built‑in

* Beyond feeds: **Murals** (shared boards), **Memory Boards** (living diaries), and **Collab** (polls, tags, quick edits) turn media into decisions.

### How Bitpers Feels

* **Media‑first UI:** Edge‑to‑edge content; comments in a half‑sheet so visuals stay visible.
* **Two modes, one model:** Curated grids for storytelling; vertical feeds for scrolling.
* **Lightweight, playful UX:** Custom emoji, fast reactions, minimal chrome.

### What You Can Do on Day One

* Create **Murals** for events/themes (private or public).
* Keep a **Memory Board** for trips, friendships, or projects (solo or shared).
* Use **Collab** to pick the best shots, run polls, and produce a clean recap.
* Layer **Events** to auto‑route captures and **Face Hunt** (opt‑in) to find people fast.

### Why It’s Different

* Pinterest is static; Discord is chaotic; Google Photos is solo; Reddit is text‑first.
* **Bitpers** is *visual, social, and collaborative*—with privacy and consent at the core.
