What Nicholic builds
Nerdy Companion
Early designA study companion, in early design. What it does is still being decided.
Four things Nicholic will never do
All of them are published in full, each dated and versioned. These four are the ones a stranger can check most easily.
Nicholic will never sell, rent, or broker personal data.
Nicholic will never use private user content to train a model without specific, opt-in permission.
Nicholic will never make leaving harder than joining.
Nicholic will never change published rules without notice before they take effect.
What stays private, and why
Nicholic publishes what it owes people: commitments, funding, and failures. It does not publish architecture, infrastructure, or the thresholds behind abuse detection.
That second half is the part worth defending. Publishing the number at which an account gets flagged does not protect anyone — every spam operation reads it once and stays just underneath. The protection is gone and only the abusive party changed behaviour.
Where that line sits is written down, along with the specific signs that would show it being used to hide something.
Recent work
The updates log is the evidence base for everything above. Gaps in it are real information.
Corrected pages that described Nicholic as pre-launch
Several pages said nothing had launched. TruXSocial was already live. Every such sentence has been corrected, and the build now checks for this.
Decided how posts will be published
Two new sections are planned, written through a publishing tool instead of by editing the site's files. What that changes is recorded here first.
Merged the mission page into the about page
The mission page was merged into the about page. The old address still works rather than returning a missing page.
