Open algorithm
No more guessingwhat the algorithm wants.
On most platforms, nobody outside the company can say why one post rises and another disappears. We think a recommendation is only as trustworthy as the rules behind it, so the rules should be public.
Most platforms
Only the platform knows how ranking works.
What TimeGrade is building
The rules are public, every score comes with an explanation, and score records are kept so you can check them.
Posted means listed. Popular is decided by open scoring.
LatestDefault
Once a post is published in a community, it appears in the list in the order it was written. It does not have to be picked by an algorithm first.
PopularYour choice
Sorted by the published scoring rules. You can tell which posts people value, and valued posts are recommended to more people under those same open rules.
One boundary: abuse-detection thresholds stay private, so they cannot be used to get around the safeguards.
Start and explore
Start a conversation any time,and find your people.
You should not have to wait for a platform to open a space for what you want to talk about. Join or create a community whenever you like, create a tag whenever you need one, and follow topics and tags to views unlike your own.
A community is where a group of people talk. Topics and tags are the index that lets you find things across communities.
A new event or interest
Create a tag or community
People who care join in
Others find it through topics and tags
Local communities
One subject,each place talks its own way.
A global platform usually flattens everyone into one conversation, where the largest group sets the tone. TimeGrade is designed the other way around: it respects the culture of each region's communities, which are local first and connected second.
A coffee community in Taipei
Home roasting and cafés down the lanes
A coffee community in Tokyo
Kissaten culture and pour-over gear
A coffee community in Berlin
Roasteries and the third wave
One subject, many communities
The same subject can have its own community in each region, each caring about different things and talking in its own way. Neither has to fit the other. Within one region, people can also start communities with different cultures on the same subject.
Outside ratings do not rewrite local rules
Ratings from other communities only affect where a post appears in cross-community ranking. Trust and permissions are earned inside a community or field and stay there.
Credit history
Build your own standing,one field at a time.
Your reputation should come from what you actually contribute, and it should be yours to build. TimeGrade is designed so each member builds a community credit history, calculated by the same open rules as everything else.
Your credit history
Counted per field, by open rules
Your level is calculated per topic, per tag and per community under published rules, so you can see how your standing is worked out.
Trust stays where it was earned
Trust earned in one community stays there. It does not turn into authority over another, which also makes it harder for a coordinated group to carry influence across the platform.
Community oversight
Communities keep watch together,never in a black box.
We respect every member's right to express an opinion. A post should not vanish without a reason because someone disliked it or organised reports against it. Reporting is something a community's own members do together, under principles everyone can read.
Members of the community file a report
It follows a clear, published violation process
The post stays by default; exceptions come with a reason
Only members of the same community can report
Reports come from people who know that community's culture and are handled through a clear violation process. By design, this lowers the chance that an outside group can affect a post by flooding it with reports.
Ratings change rank, not whether a post exists
Even with many negative ratings, what changes is where a post ranks. Posts are kept as the rule.
The goal is to lower the risk of scams and manipulation. We do not promise that risk becomes zero.
Questionspeople ask
Short answers about where TimeGrade stands today. Everything described here is a planned direction, not a finished feature.
Can I use TimeGrade now?
Not yet. The product is still in development and is expected to launch in 2027. No quarter or date has been set.
Can I join a waitlist or apply for a beta?
No. This site has no waitlist, beta application, account sign-up or contact form, and it does not ask for your email address.
How will posts be sorted?
Latest is the default: posts appear in the order they were published. Popular is a view you switch to yourself. It sorts and recommends posts under published rules.
Will the ranking formula be public?
The plan is to publish the general ranking rules and to explain each score. The exact formulas and weights are not final, so we are not publishing numbers yet. Abuse-detection thresholds will stay private.
How do communities, topics and tags fit together?
A community is a discussion space inside a region, with its own culture. Different regions can each have a community on the same subject. Topics and tags are the index for finding related discussion across communities and regions.
Does trust earned in one community carry over to others?
No. Trust and permissions are meant to belong to the community or field where they were earned. Ratings from other communities only affect how a post ranks across communities.
Who can report a post, and what happens to it?
Only members of the same community can report a post. Negative ratings and reports change where a post ranks. They do not remove it directly. Posts are kept as the rule while the author wants them up. Safety problems and clear violations are the exception, handled under published principles. We do not promise that a post is never removed.
Will TimeGrade get rid of scams and false information?
No platform can promise that. Community oversight is meant to lower the risk. We also do not promise perfect fairness, or that every post gets seen.
What data does this website collect?
This site has no forms and no accounts, and we do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools. It is not free of data processing, though: our hosting provider, Cloudflare, handles technical request data such as your IP address and browser details in order to deliver and protect the site.
The communitywe want to live in
Picture the community you open every day, a few years from now.
When you open your feed
You know why you are seeing what you see.
When you wonder how others see it
You follow a topic and hear the conversation in other parts of the world.
When you step into your local community
It has its own voice, and does not have to follow anyone else's habits.
When you keep taking part
The credit you build in each field is your own.
When you speak your mind
The aim is that hostile ratings or organised reports do not silence you.
When something looks wrong
People point it out together, under principles everyone can read.
TimeGrade is being built to be that place.
Give communities backto the people in them.
