Introducing Leave A Gripe

Ever had something you just needed to say—no filters, no accounts, no algorithms deciding what gets seen? That’s why I built LeaveA.Gripe.

It’s a simple concept: an infinite pinup board for text-only messages. No replies, no moderation, no tracking; just pure, unfiltered expression, the way I remember the internet of the late 90s early 00s. Drop a note anywhere on the board, and it stays. Every user starts in a random location, and if you want to post, the app will nudge you to the nearest open space. That’s it. No noise, no engagement metrics, just a raw stream of whatever people feel like saying.

Why? Because every platform these days tries to shape what we see. LeaveA.Gripe doesn’t. There are no hidden rules, no boosted posts, no content policing. It’s the wild west of anonymous text, where people can say whatever they want, and it just exists.

It’s live now at LeaveA.Gripe. Check it out, leave your mark, and let the gripes flow!
