About Wallflower — a quiet social reader
The reading flow<br>The stream moves. Your reading can stay.<br>Social timelines are good at bringing things to you and bad at<br>helping you return to them. Wallflower treats discovery and reading<br>as two connected, but different, activities.
Mastodon · 18 minutes ago<br>The library kept its windows open through the rain. Everyone<br>read a little more slowly.
Bluesky · 26 minutes ago<br>A field note on attention, public spaces, and the things a city<br>teaches quietly.
← keep what matters →<br>Reading · 8 minutes<br>The patient work of paying attention<br>An article kept away from the rush of the timeline.
“Keep the sentences that change the way you look.”
What is inside<br>Built around a reader, not a metric.
01<br>Mastodon and Bluesky<br>Connect either network or both. Posts arrive together in a single<br>edition, while their full handles and origins stay visible.
02<br>Confluence<br>A deliberately balanced view of both networks, made for the days<br>when one busy source would otherwise crowd out the other.
03<br>The Commonplace Book<br>Send links to Reading, keep posts, collect passages, add notes, and<br>arrange what matters into notebooks you can revisit.
04<br>Feeds and sources<br>Follow RSS and Atom publications beside the social conversation,<br>then move an article into Reading when it deserves more time.
05<br>Compose and respond<br>Write, reply, repost, favorite, quote, and share without turning<br>every interaction into a scoreboard.
06<br>Chronological by design<br>No ads, trending column, suggested follows, red badges, or ranking<br>layer. New posts wait until you choose to see them.
Web · iPhone · iPad · Mac<br>One reading life, across devices<br>Wallflower adapts from a single comfortable column on your phone to<br>a broad, multi-column edition on larger screens. Your accounts,<br>Commonplace material, feed subscriptions, and reading preferences<br>stay connected wherever you read.

A note from the maker<br>Wallflower is made by Andrew Leahey for people who still like reading the whole thing. It is a sibling to PIVOT,<br>a daily word puzzle with the same quiet temperament.
