Chirpr is a more humane Social Media App. You can find out more about us on our website
Chirpr is focused on serving the needs of the user, rather than fill the pockets of big corporations. It's totally free and will always be, and adds features focused on helping people manage social media in a better way.
Please note that the password encryption is rather rudimentary so you sign up at you own risk! We recommend that you do not sign up using passwords you've used for other accounts online!
It's Partially Done - I've completed the first version, and although I'd like to develop more features, I'll need to make time for it
This repository should sync with gitlab
- Chirpr is completely free, both now and in the future
- We don't show users the likes they've recieved - this reduces comparing oneself to others because you can't
- We show users the likes of posts from people they've followed - this creates a sense of community
- We don't have a trending page - you need to follow users to see their posts. This helps to combat social media addiction
- There's no ads - your attention is not being sold
- Intrusive ads don't follow you round and track you
Simply install docker. Once you've done that, you can run the container with docker run -p 5000:5000 jacobmacleod/chirpr and navigate to http://localhost:5000/.
This is the recommended option
To install Chirpr using git, make sure git, python and pip are installed, then run the following commands:

To run Chirpr
Finally, you can enter the Chirpr-Social-Network directory, using cd Chirpr-Social-Network on linux, and run:
python3 main.py
To open Chirpr, you can go to http://localhost:5000/
This is not the recommended option, but it is necessary for active development!
I'd like to run Chirpr on a cloud server, but I'm still looking into options and pricings
