# What is Floodle?
Floodle is a social platform built for people with ADHD, AuDHD, and neurodivergent minds. It is a safe, RSD-free (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) zone where users can share their hyperfocus ideas, braindump their thoughts, and collaborate with a community that understands.

# Who is it for?
- People with ADHD or AuDHD
- Neurodivergent individuals
- Visual thinkers and creatives
- Anyone who experiences intense bursts of creative energy (hyperfocus)
- People who struggle with traditional social media algorithms and overwhelm

# Key concepts
- Hyperfocus: A state of intense concentration where the ADHD brain locks onto a stimulating task for hours. Floodle captures the creative output of these bursts.
- Braindump: A raw, unpolished post of an idea or thought. No pressure for perfection.
- The Void: A special section for unfinished or abandoned projects. Other community members can "revive" these ideas and give them new life.
- RSD-Free Zone: No dislike button, no negative feedback. Only supportive interactions to protect against Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.
- Spark: A quick, short-form thought or idea.
- Deep Dive: A detailed, long-form post often with sketches or voice notes.
- WOBI (Wall of Brilliant Ideas): A personal collection of ideas a user has "bitten" (saved) from the community.
- Body Doubling: A real-time co-working feature with Pomodoro timers for gentle accountability.

# How it is different from traditional social media
- No algorithmic manipulation or infinite scroll
- Minimalist, anti-overwhelm interface designed for sensory sensitivity
- Built for creative output, not passive consumption
- No direct messages (prevents Social Demand Avoidance and inbox anxiety)
- No tracking pixels or third-party analytics
- Community-driven and donation-supported, not ad-supported
- One-click account and data deletion

# Who built it
Floodle was created by Hanno, a Dutch sommelier with ADHD, for the neurodivergent community. It is open about its neurodivergent roots and is sustained by community donations rather than venture capital or advertising.
