⊙ About Internet Rewind
Internet Rewind is a free online community modeled after the online services of the 1990s — Prodigy, AOL, CompuServe — reimagined for the modern web. It's a place to talk about the things you care about, read the news, play some games, and browse the Newsstand, without an algorithm deciding what you see.
No ads. No tracking. No data sold. No engagement optimization. Just a community with shared interests, organized into boards the way people used to organize them — by topic, not by what generates the most outrage.
The internet used to feel like a place. You went there. You found your people. You had conversations. Somewhere along the way it turned into something that watches you back. We're trying to remember what it felt like before that happened.
The aesthetic is deliberate — the Prodigy-era interface is a reminder that this was always about people first, and technology second.
Internet Rewind is built and maintained by Altruistic Apps, a one-person operation dedicated to building free, useful, ad-free software. Other apps in the portfolio include Bonnie's Pantry (recipe app), WeatherTV (weather app), Pable (this day in history), and Aporia (quotes).
