Signals
Social.
A private social network for professionals. Post signals, exchange end-to-end encrypted DMs, claim a handle — without ads, algorithms, or data sales.
A feed that's yours.
Chronological. Tag-filtered. No algorithm deciding what you see.

Left my Staff role at Datadog. Taking 3 months off before looking. Here's what I learned about scaling observability teams.
No algorithmic ranking. Tag-filtered, chronological, yours.
Encrypted before it leaves.
AES-256-GCM with X25519 key exchange. The server stores math, not messages.
Encrypted on your device. R1 stores ciphertext. Only the recipient's device can read it.

E2EE applies to message content. Metadata — who, when — is not message content. Every key change is logged and client-verifiable.
Seven things we never do.
Not features we're working on. Not aspirations. Things we will never do.
Encrypted.
R1 Signals is private by design — encrypted, device-bound, and yours.No ads. No algorithms. No tracking.
