Hey, we’re Porchlight.
Porchlight is designed and built by a small team of engineers and designers who care a great deal about the open web. We build for privacy, ownership, and the plain right to leave—the same things we want for ourselves.
We are here for the internet we still believe in— open, legible, and answerable to the people using it. When you write to Porchlight, you reach the people who built it.
We are not going to spend your time arguing that the old feeds are broken. You know that, and so does everyone you know. The gap was never awareness; it was somewhere better to go.
Porchlight is a new kind of home page. Not a feed, not another link list—it is your own stretch of the web. One small site where your name, your work, and your story stay entirely yours.
Made by you. Owned by you.
Kept by people who care.
Shared exactly how you like.
The groundwork for a better internet: one that
answers to people instead of platforms.
Our whole mission is everyday autonomy online, and we build against three principles:
Warm. Something you would actually recommend to a friend.
Plain. Simple enough that your grandmother could use it.
Yours. Built so you keep full control, with no fine print.
