It has been nearly a year since the last email update from the Uli team! After the launch in August last year we had a six month period of demoing, planning for the next iteration and fundraising. Uli has been moving full steam since March of this year. But in the busyness of getting the next phase launched, we forgot the lovely ritual of these email updates! We are remedying the situation and will send you monthly(ish) updates for the next year of development.

I'll start with the TLDR of the findings from the demos: the features in Uli such as redaction and archiving, while exciting, weren't fitting well with the way people were using social media. You can read a longer blog on reflections from the demo and feedback here. In 2021, we had identified the features we would build into Uli through interviews and focus group discussions with nearly fifty gender rights activists and researchers. Many of you reading this email were in that group. But, we now believe that there was significant diversity even within the social media experiences of this group- some people are creators, some more like reporters and some are readers. Some use social media on their browsers but most use it through mobile apps. We designed a little bit for many people's needs, but not perfectly for anybody's. So this is what we are changing this year. We are iterating on Uli in close partnership with four fantastic organizations:
