Just launched 🚀 Been deep in the trenches building this, obsessing over the details, and finally ready to put it out into the world. Would genuinely love your thoughts—what clicks, what doesn’t, what you’d want next. Every bit of feedback helps shape where this goes. Appreciate anyone who checks it out 🙏

I built ArcVelvet alone — no co-founder, no funding, no team. Just code and a vision. The idea: what if your content didn't scroll, it floated in a 3D sky? What if fans tipped you directly with zero platform cut? What if you could debate live for prize pools, design cosmetics and earn royalties forever, and own your sky completely? No algorithm deciding your reach. No platform extracting 50% of...
ArcVelvet The social network where your content lives in the sky
ArcVelvet replaces the infinite scroll with a navigable 3D sky feed. Your content becomes a living signal bubble ordered by real-time momentum — not an algorithm. Built-in creator economy with direct tips, live debate arenas with real prize pools, cosmetics marketplace with permanent creator royalties, and Stripe Connect payouts. Solo built. No funding. Live now.

How we built trust into ArcVelvet's economy by architecture. Every creator platform asks you to trust them with your money. We decided to build trust in instead. Here's what's under the hood: No client can touch your wallet. Every balance change goes through Cloud Functions only. Firestore security rules block all direct client writes to wallets and transactions. Your money moves on...

How the ArcVelvet economy actually works Most platforms make money by selling your attention to advertisers. ArcVelvet makes money only when creators succeed. Here's how it works: AEYE (AE) — the platform currency Users buy AE with real USD. Every tip, cosmetic purchase, debate entry, and arena stake requires AE. This is pure platform revenue with no ads. For creators: — Tips go 100% to you...

Updated with a screenshot of the sky feed — this is what makes ArcVelvet different from every other platform. Your content doesn't scroll. It floats. Each bubble is a piece of content ordered by real momentum. The brighter it glows the hotter the signal. Click it and the world opens up. Launching April 1st at 12:01am PDT. Use code PRODUCTHUNT500 for 500 free AE when you join. 🌌 arcvelvetos.web.app

8 months ago I had an idea: what if your content didn't scroll, it floated? What if the platform worked for you instead of against you? I'm a solo developer. No co-founder, no investors, no team. I built ArcVelvet from scratch — 3D spatial feed, full creator economy, live debates, cosmetics marketplace, Stripe payouts, 189+ cloud functions. It's live right now. I'm Patrick. Ask me anything.
