a social website shaped like an ocean.
you are an island. you drop things. the ocean arranges itself around what you share.
atoll.space is a different kind of social site. there is no feed, no followers, no likes, no replies. just a vast scrollable ocean map where every user is a small island.
islands that share interests drift toward each other over time. islands that go quiet slowly sink and fade.
go to atoll.space and enter your email and a password. choose a name for your island — this is permanent. hit enter.
that's it. your island appears on the map.
drop something.
you get one active drop at a time. a drop is one of:
□link — a url you want to share○thought — a sentence or two, nothing more✦flower — a 16×16 pixel drawing you make in the browser
tag it with a few words. hit drop it.
your drop becomes a node on your island, visible to everyone on the map.
the ocean map shows all islands as small isometric tiles. you can pan around freely.
- click any island to see what it has dropped
- islands with shared tags drift closer together over time
- the minimap in the corner shows your position in the full ocean
silence has a cost.
| time since last drop | state |
|---|---|
| 0 – 29 days | alive — full presence |
| 30 – 59 days | fading — half opacity |
| 60 – 89 days | ghost — barely visible |
| 90+ days | archived, removed from the map |
drop something to stay afloat.
- one island per person
- one active drop at a time — dropping again replaces the last one
- no replies, no likes, no direct messages
- tags are how you find your neighbors — use them
not twitter. not a forum. not a portfolio site. not fast.
it's closer to leaving a note in a bottle and watching where the current takes it.
