About this app

Tired of social feeds that optimize for outrage instead of quality? Roam is a web discovery app that shows you interesting websites based on what real people actually find valuable.

Here's how it works: Hit the button and get sent somewhere interesting. If you like it, thumbs up. If not, thumbs down. Your votes train the algorithm to show you things you'll actually care about. Other people's votes help surface genuinely good content.

Every link that appears has been approved by us first. We're not some black-box recommendation engine. You see what the community finds valuable, ranked by Wilson score instead of engagement metrics that make things go viral.

Follow other people's taste, build collections of great finds, and browse through 8 categories spanning 72 different topics. The algorithm mixes in some serendipity too, about 12% of the time steering you toward adjacent topics so you actually discover something new instead of just reinforcing what you already know.

We also have a 30-minute cooldown on domains so you're not seeing the same five websites over and over.

If you find something worth sharing, submit it. We look at everything. Spam disappears. Good finds go to the community.

What’s new

- Discovery algorithm v29+v30 — 5% TABLESAMPLE for variety, 24-hour domain cooldown, exploration bonus for under-explored subcategories, serendipity mode for occasional wildcards, and subcategory rotation to ensure broader coverage over time. Extracted `eff_score` to a dedicated SQL function for maintainability.
- Config sheet now shows current URL — Tapping the swipe-up sheet displays the page URL with a copy-to-clipboard button for quick sharing.
