About Drapo
Two parts: the person who built it, and the product you’re using.
About the maker
I’m Milán, a web developer who cares about quiet, useful software. Drapo started as a weekend experiment to see if a social app can remove the performative layer and still feel alive.
Principles I build by
- Text-first. Interfaces should serve words, not the other way around.
- Small surface area. Fewer features, sharper outcomes.
- No dark patterns. Clear choices, reversible actions.
- Privacy by default. Local thinking, minimal data.
Stack & ops
- Node + Express on the backend, lightweight DB.
- Server-side rendered pages with progressive enhancements.
- Sessions hardened, passwords hashed, rate limits in place.
- Portable exports and clean deletion paths.
About the product
Drapo is a text-only, friends-only social app. No public like counts, no ads, no tracking pixels. You invite people with private codes, share short updates, and move to DM when depth is needed.
Text-only feed
Short posts that privilege clarity over performance.
Private friend codes
Invite intentionally. Your graph is not public.
10s slow mode
A gentle brake on impulsive posting and doomscrolling.
1-on-1 DMs
Delivered / seen. Groups only when you truly need them.
Readable by design
Clean typography, minimal UI, sensible spacing.
Portable data
Export your posts and contacts. Delete anytime.
No ads, no sale
We don’t sell attention. There are no trackers.
Fast everywhere
Tiny payloads and PWA-friendly behavior on mobile.
