01 · Real-time chat

Messages that land the moment you send them.

Direct messages and community channels on one socket. Presence dots show who's around, typing indicators show who's answering, and unread counts follow you across devices.

  • Active-now presence on every avatar
  • DMs, group threads, and community rooms
  • Read state synced across web and desktop

02 · Posts and feed

Your feed, your audience, your call.

Every post carries a visibility setting: public, friends only, or only me. Paste a link and Yello turns it into a clean preview instead of a bare URL.

  • Per-post visibility, changeable after publishing
  • Link and repo previews
  • Quote posts for threading ideas together

03 · Communities and friends

Find your people, then keep them close.

Join groups around the stack you work in. Send friend requests, manage incoming ones from a single inbox, and post stories that your circle sees for 24 hours.

  • Open communities for every stack
  • Friend requests with one-tap accept
  • A stories row for quick, low-stakes updates
