Instagram is a stage. Stubli is your living room.
Somewhere along the way, sharing with friends turned into performing for strangers. Stubli brings it back home.
On a stage
- Likes and followers, counted in public
- An algorithm decides who sees you
- Ads between your friends
- A feed that never ends
- Your photos on someone else’s platform
In your Stubli
- Nobody’s counting
- Your friends’ posts, newest first
- No ads, ever
- The feed ends: “That’s everything for now”
- Your photos on your own website
Your name, your Stubli.
Every Stubli is its own little website at its own address: your photos, a journal and a guest book. Type your name and step inside.

A perfect Sunday…
The market at Riponne, then coffee on the cathedral steps.

Your first photo goes here.No rush. The room is ready when you are.
Took the slow train on purpose.
Everyone can see this
That's everything for nowYou've seen everyone. Go and make a coffee.
Your room, your house rules.
For the people you’d invite in.
Mark a post Friends only and it goes to the people you choose. It never appears on your public page.
Strangers wait at the door.
Comments from people you don’t follow wait for your OK. If someone isn’t welcome, block them quietly. Nobody is told.
Nobody’s in a hurry here.
No likes, no counts, no algorithm. Posts arrive newest first, and your feed ends when you’ve seen everyone.
Your colours, your address.
Pick the colour of your room. It lives at your own address, and you can pack everything up and take it with you.
