This document describes Drop, a new social platform that aims to help users better organize their digital lives into topic-based groups similar to real-life social circles. Drop allows users to create private groups on any topic, with access granted only by solving challenges set by the group admin. Within groups, users can browse and vote on various content types from websites to videos, and even host group content on their own servers. The goal is to bring like-minded people together through these guarded private groups while giving users control over their online social experience and reputation within each group.

2. what’s the problem?
In reality we have groups of people: friends we do hobbies
with, friends we meet for dinner, colleagues we work with, etc…
SO, WHY NOT IN OUR DIGITAL LIFE?

3. "Helping a community better organize its
knowledge so it can better organize itself."
One definition of journalism
