It’s still early days. I’m a solo builder trying to create a space that isn’t pretending to “disrupt” anything — it’s just trying to do the basics right: meaningful threads, respectful debates, and a community culture that doesn’t collapse into noise.
Why I built this
Every platform is trying to be everything. Forums became outdated, social media became polluted, and long-form conversations started disappearing. GeneralGiist is my attempt to bring back that clean, old-school discussion energy, but with a modern, global flavor.
What’s already live
A working forum with categories across lifestyle, politics, tech, entertainment, and more
User accounts, posting, profiles — the essentials
Fast, distraction-free UI
Early community structure and seeded discussions
A long-term plan to evolve this into a flagship platform under my “Space Platform” umbrella
What I’m looking for
Feedback. Brutal honesty. Tell me:
What feels off
What’s clunky
What’s confusing
What’s boring
What’s surprisingly good
I’m not pitching perfection — I’m pitching potential.

Thanks for reading, and thanks even more if you poke around and tell me where the cracks are. I’ll be in the thread replying to everything — even the spicy takes.
