Dovetail.

You hate social media because it makes you doom scroll your time away. You hate group chats because you only use them to arrange logistics with friends. You want "authenticity" on social media, but the only outlets that you know of are gimmicky features gift-wrapped in a nice user interface.
You don't have to choose between brain rot, boring walls of text, and apps that force authenticity down your throat. 
Dovetail is a photos- and videos-first platform for your friend groups. Post to private groups of your favorite people and see it all on one feed. No gimmicky features, no contrived authenticity, just a platform for your friend groups to capture moments and share memories.
