FAQ

Common questions, plain answers.

Is NoReply really anonymous?

If you post anonymously, your username doesn't appear next to the post and other users can't trace it back to you. The database still associates the post with your account so you can edit or delete it later, but no other user can see who wrote it.

Can I post under my real name?

Yes. Each time you write a post, you can choose to attribute it to your username instead of posting anonymously. The default is anonymous.

What can I post about?

Anything you wanted to say to someone but didn't. The most common categories are career, relationships, business and investors, and friendships that ended quietly. There's no rule against other topics, as long as you follow the guidelines.

What can't I post?

Real names, contact info, screenshots of private messages, and other identifying details of the people you're writing about. Anything that's just an ad for your own thing. Anything covered by an NDA you've signed. The full guidelines have the complete list.

Why would I want to share this?

You don't have to. Some people find it helpful to put the words somewhere instead of keeping them in their head. Some people find it helpful to read other people's versions and feel less alone. If neither of those describes you, NoReply isn't for you, and that's fine.

How is this different from Reddit or a regular forum?

Reddit optimizes for engagement and debate. NoReply doesn't. There are no upvote-based feeds, no comment trees of arguments, no notifications begging you to come back. The whole product is shaped to be a place to put things down, not a place to get attention for them.

Is there a mobile app?

Not yet. The website works on phones - that's where most people read it from. A native app might come later if there's enough reason to build one.

How do you make money?

Right now: nothing. The site runs at a small loss out of the founder's pocket. A "Pro" tier is being designed for people who want to support the project; the free tier will always be enough to use NoReply fully.

I want to delete my account.

Sign in, go to settings, click delete account. Your posts, replies, and account data are removed within 30 days. If you want a copy of your data first, export it from the same settings page.
