Retrospring
An open-source Q/A social network where users ask and answer questions publicly or anonymously.
What is Retrospring?
Retrospring is an open-source social network centered on question-and-answer interactions, similar to early platforms like Formspring or ask.fm. It allows users to create accounts, receive questions from followers or anonymous users, and share answers publicly in a timeline. The project provides a community-driven alternative to proprietary Q/A social networks.
Community builders, developers, or organizations seeking to host their own Q/A-based social platform, or users nostalgic for early Q/A social networking experiences.
As a free, open-source platform under AGPLv3, Retrospring offers full transparency, customization, and self-hosting capabilities, avoiding vendor lock-in and data privacy concerns associated with commercial alternatives.
