Looped: picks from friends

Search results are ads and reviews are gamed. The people whose taste you trust are the ones you already know, so Looped just asks them: two questions a week.

Getting a recommendation you can trust is harder than it should be. Search results are ads, reviews are gamed, and forums are strangers. Looped asks the people you already know instead. It runs on an invite: someone already in has to bring you in. Two questions a week, that show up Sunday and Wednesday at 8:00 AM Eastern. You answer first. Nobody's picks open until yours does, and when the next question drops, everyone's reveal opens at the same instant. A reveal only shows picks from people you're connected to. Everything you save lands in your own library, sorted into Mine, To try, and Tried, so what a friend recommended doesn't disappear into a chat thread you'll never find again.

The part that makes Looped different: closing the loop. When you try something a friend recommended, you tell them whether it landed. That's the whole point of asking someone you trust in the first place, knowing if it actually worked. You get one email a week by default, the Sunday digest. There's an optional reminder before a question closes, but it stays off unless you turn it on yourself.

Looped is not a place to build a following. No public profile, no like count, no algorithm deciding what you see. Just the people you invited, and the questions you all answer together.
