Aura is a new kind of social app. There's no feed, no followers, no algorithm. Just this: ๐ŸŽจ Share how you feel as a color and a few words ๐Ÿ‘† Swipe through other people's moments, one at a time ๐Ÿซ‚ Press and hold to vibe with one that resonates Here's the part I love: vibes are private. Nobody knows you felt their moment โ€” unless they feel yours back. When it's mutual, you're connected. Connections unlock whispers: quiet, encrypted messages only your people can send you. Moments are public. Who you vibe with stays between you two. Spam-proof DMs by design โ€” a mutual vibe is the only key to your inbox. Android *BETA* is live on Zapstore now. Search "Aura." Link: Code: Feel in color. ๐ŸŸฃ

i had an idea on the same spectrum, but almost opposite. i had disregarded it at some point, i think i will put it back on the list now.
i built this in Flutter so i can eventually release on iOS. however i need to buy a cloud Mac or use someone else's account. more on this later. right now i want to nail down the experience before i do Google Play and Apple App Store.

Love it so far, I was a bit confused as to why I never got a DM option but now I re read your post and see someone has to match my vibe for that to happen. Potential feature: "open dm" vibe. People can see and send a one-off response to your vibe even if you didn't match. Could be used for soliciting advice like. "Feeling stressed, how can I unplug?". If you like their response you can dm back and open a normal dm flow
think of it kind of like tinder. you have to vibe with someone and they have to vibe with you to unlock DMs. you can build that relationship as time moves on by continuing to vibe with one another. your constellation lines/links grow thicker and strong as you build your relationship.
and yes, i have thought about something like this. perhaps if someone wants to talk/is open to talk they could toggle that first and foremost without having to vibe with them.

algos put our shadow on full display, but with a lack of awareness to the individual. I want a public, anonymous confessional of sorts.

Would also be cool if you could filter the auras you look to do just your follow list. Could fill the "who, among my friends, is feeling excited to go outside, feeling bored, feeling sad,, etc"
follows aren't technically a feature, though you can follow someone and interact with them on another nostr app. but perhaps some sort of future filter could be implemented. i do have light WoT now, just for spam prevention. ill think about how i could add something more. thanks for the feedback.
It seems to lose my current aura often, forcing me to republish to allow me to browse others. Also shows "share your position" when I just to browse/connect with anyone and just shows button "share your aura first". Love the idea, not sure how it will play out, but it's fresh #melike
It doesn't lose your Aura, if you reopen the app you're prompted to post a new one. That wasn't my intention so I'll need to allow browsing of Auras without having to post first. Swiping right is for local / auras near you, that's why it's asking for that. I'll make that more clear.
