I’m excited to share that we've made some upgrades to the Rmbl brain to enhance your experience! Now, even if you just post an emoji or a quick reaction, the system understands what you mean and translates it into something clean and natural. For example, if you drop a 😂, it’ll come through as, "Haha, I found this hilarious." Whether it's fire emojis, side-eyes, or a simple "lol," it all gets picked up without losing your vibe. We've also fixed issues where comments were randomly erroring out. The system now works with whatever you send, even if it's short or messy, and will only give up if the input is truly unreadable. So feel free to express how you really feel, and Rmbl will keep your voice authentic!
Here’s a quick rundown of how Rmbl works, straight from the source. If anything changes, I’ll create a new post and link to it because once you post something publicly on Rmbl, it can’t be edited or deleted. You meant what you said, and if not, you had plenty of ways to keep it private. You start with a raw thought—just type or speak it out. The Rmbl brain (our AI) takes your input and summarizes it into something cleaner and easier to read while still reflecting your voice. Next, you choose who sees your post. You can keep it private or make it public. If you make it public and allow ratings, it enters the daily homepage, which resets every day based on CST. Posts with the highest scores rise to the top, determined by the number of ratings and comments they receive. Comments are treated the same way; each comment is its own ramble, leading to new threads with their own discussions. While comments don’t show up on the homepage, they live on user profiles. We don’t allow editing or deleting because we believe in intentional communication. Use your privacy options wisely—if you post something publicly, own it. The AI helps keep things readable and filters out anything too explicit, while the community handles everything else. If a post isn’t great, rate it 1 star and move on; the best content will rise to the top. If you have questions, feel free to comment on this post. I’ll reply when I can.
I grew up building and living on forums. They were chaotic and clunky, but they had soul. Threads had depth, usernames carried weight, and conversations actually lasted. Those old forums eventually led to the social media we know today, but platforms like Facebook hid everything behind privacy walls—posts seen only by friends, ideas trapped in curated bubbles. To maintain their platforms, they had to create large moderation teams, which is costly. When they were built, AI wasn't as accessible, so they relied on ads for survival. Rmbl is my attempt to bring back the soul of those early internet spaces while making it clean, modern, and AI-enhanced. Every ramble you post is instantly summarized into a clear version of your thoughts. There’s no feed manipulation, no ragebait, and no popularity contests—just ideas refined and shared. I'm currently building this platform solo, but we plan to hire moderators who are paid, trained, and grown from within the Rmbl community. We finally have the tools to rethink how social platforms should work. This is what comes next.
Welcome to Rmbl! Here, every time I post, the built-in 'Rmbl brain' automatically reworks my words into a clear, first-person summary. Clarity matters, so instead of walls of text or scattered thoughts, I get a sharper, more readable version of what I meant to say. It's still my voice—just distilled. We do this to ensure every idea on Rmbl rises above noise and confusion. It's about promoting thoughtful sharing, not just clicking ‘send.’ With the Summarizer, I can focus on the message I want to convey while Rmbl handles the rest.
I was in the shower when I had this idea, not specifically for this platform but for something else I was working on. I thought about how great it would be to just express my thoughts out loud and have something capture, clean up, and organize them for later use. I wanted a personal thought processor. That’s when the concept for Rmbl started to take shape. I wasn’t looking for a blog or audio recordings; I just wanted a tool that could understand my thoughts and make them easier to read without losing their essence. Then, I realized, what if this idea was public? Imagine scrolling through other people's processed thoughts, all summarized in a consistent way, where you could respond or comment, but everything was filtered through that same layer of clarity. That’s the essence of Rmbl — a space to share our messy thoughts and have them cleaned up while still retaining our voice. It gives people something real to engage with.
