Two feeds. One app. A feed for real friends. A feed for interests you choose. No ads. No algos.

Momentum.. as a non-technical founder with @OpenAI as your acting senior developer @duofeedapp

[Beverly Pell @beverly_pell]

Just hit submit to @ycombinator Winter 2026.

I built @duofeedapp – a mindful social app that helps people scroll less and connect more.

This photo? My Zoom recording 60-sec pitch 4 minutes before DEADLINE. 😱

Whether YC says yes or not, this mission is happening.

As an educator and parent, I’ve spent years helping families and students navigate technology.

But one truth kept surfacing again and again: We’re more connected than ever – yet lonelier than before.

So I decided to build something that could help.

It’s called DuoFeed, a mindful social app with two simple goals:

✨ One feed for your closest friends – real connection, not comparison.
🌎 One feed for local discovery – events, places, and people nearby who make life richer.

I’ve been building DuoFeed in public, and now I’m opening the door for you to join me.

Through my Stan Store, you can:
💬 Join our founding community (free)
🚀 Support the app’s development ($3–25/month)
🎟️ Get early access to the beta and behind-the-scenes updates

Every person who joins helps us build a healthier corner of the internet — one designed for presence, not pressure.

@TanwarShrey @beverly_pell @balajis We have a few fun features in mind... Would love to hear what creators want!

[duofeedapp @duofeedapp]

It' happening!
Tomorrow morning is going to be 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/YQq15j6NxZ

[duofeedapp @duofeedapp]

@TanwarShrey @beverly_pell @balajis Great question! Discovery feed purely interest-driven, hobbies, learning, exploring is user generated. no persuasive algorithms. Premium app $9.99/mo.

Would you use a Freemium model with ads from local restaurants, discounts for groups of friends that meet IRL?

@timjcarden Basically they fell in love with their product - not the problem nor their customers.

So how did OpenAI win trust?

First to market, good product and consistency. And public perception - a company with smart people with high credentials.

[Beverly Pell @beverly_pell]

Contest over, I’m now building the backend for @duofeedapp with @boltdotnew

One app with two feeds. ✌️
One feed you curate for 100 friends you follow.
One feed for interests, with mindful prompts to stop endless scrolling.

What other features do you want??
Let’s build it together! 💪

Me: I’ll just check one app.
Also me: 6 apps later and 45 minutes gone.

DuoFeed: Finally, sanity.

Here’s what it looks like to switch feeds in DuoFeed 👇

[duofeedapp @duofeedapp]

Your best friend’s update ≠ a dancing banana ad.

That’s why we made two feeds.
#DigitalWellbeing #DuoFeed

[duofeedapp @duofeedapp]

Feature drop:
🟦 Curated Feed = real friends
🟪 Discovery Feed = ideas, only when you want them
