― METHOD
A field, not a feed.
This is a field, not a feed. Signal is a quiet space for builders doing serious work.
― PRINCIPLES
- Principle
01
No feed
Signal is not a feed and does not reward frequent exposure. No algorithmic recommendations, no endless scroll — every Signal is meant to exist with intent.
- Principle
02
No cold DM
Every connection request must carry context. You state who you are, why you are reaching out, and what you can offer. No unsolicited noise.
- Principle
03
Curated before public
SignalCards are reviewed and refined before entering Field. This is not gatekeeping — it is a commitment to quality.
- Principle
04
Human-readable, Agent-readable
Every Signal can be read by people and parsed by agents. Structured data lets AI agents match precisely, instead of guessing from keywords.
- Principle
05
Build in public, but with boundaries
You can show what you are building while keeping full control over visibility. You decide what is visible, and what stays private for now.
― WHAT IS A SIGNAL
What is a Signal?
The core object of Signal is not a post but a SignalCard — a structured signal for a person or a project. It describes who you are, what you are working on, who you are looking for, what you can offer, and traces of your work. Both Project and Person can be structured into a Signal.
