Show IH: OnlyMeows — a social network for cat owners with no feed, no likes

Hi indie hackers! I've been feeding neighborhood strays and volunteering with cat shelters for years, and honestly the best advice I ever got about cats came from other owners.

So I'm building OnlyMeows: a social network for cat owners without the mechanics that make every other network exhausting.

  • No feed, no likes, no follower counts
  • Once a week the whole community answers one question (like "what actually reduced the early-morning wake-ups?")
  • You only see other people's answers after posting your own — keeps things honest instead of crowd-pleasing
  • Instead of followers, you keep a private circle: people whose answers were useful, added quietly, no one notified

Still very early. If you have a cat, I'd genuinely appreciate you creating a profile — just trying to get the first 10-20 people in to see if this format actually resonates. Nothing fancy, just cats and honest conversation about them.

    What matters most now is whether people come back for the next weekly question. Do early users return and participate again, or is the first post mainly curiosity?
