How to use Clatterswithout killing the vibe.

What Clatters is

Clatters is a social space for adults to share ideas, find active communities, create together, and keep conversations moving. It is not positioned as a formal niche product anymore. The public tone is social, expressive, creator-friendly, and easy to understand.

Returning users

Returning users should feel a fast launch path: splash animation, session check, then straight to the feed. If the session has expired, Clatters routes cleanly to sign in.

The feed is the main public conversation surface. It should feel quick, expressive, and active.

• Latest: newest posts and updates.
• Following: posts from people and circles you follow.
• Relevant: posts Clatters thinks match your interests.
• Trending: active conversations gaining momentum.

Post types

• Text posts for thoughts and quick updates.
• Links with previews.
• Media posts with images and files.
• Longer article drops when a short post is not enough.

Engagement

React, comment, repost, share, bookmark, and follow the author from the feed.

Discover helps people find the active parts of Clatters. It should not sound like a directory or a library; it should feel like opening a map of live conversations.

• Search for people, posts, topics, and tags.
• Browse suggested creators and active communities.
• Use trending topics to jump into what is moving now.
• Follow people to shape your Following Pulse.

Messages are for private conversation: one-to-one chats, group threads, quick follow-ups, and call entry points.

• Start a direct message from a profile or message list.
• Keep group chats separate from public posts.
• Use typing indicators and unread badges to stay oriented.
• Respect privacy settings when messaging people you do not follow.

CoLAB is the live room layer. It is where conversation becomes shared activity: planning, calls, notes, document work, screens, and collaborative sessions.

1. Open CoLAB from the navigation.
2. Create a room or join one you were invited to.
3. Add members, set roles, and choose what the room is for.
4. Use the room for calls, shared work, and live updates.

Public copy should describe CoLAB as live rooms, not as formal workspaces.

Clatters supports both fast posts and longer pieces. The language should stay creator-first: posts, drops, stories, updates, articles, and long-form—not formal papers.

• Use a post when the idea is quick.
• Use an article when the idea needs structure, media, and a longer read.
• Use tags so the right people can find it.
• Check analytics to see what is connecting.

The library is now framed as a place for saved items, useful files, and materials people want to come back to. Avoid making it sound like a stiff file cabinet.

• Save links, uploads, notes, and materials.
• Group items with collections and tags.
• Search and filter when your saved space grows.
• Use it as a personal memory layer for things worth keeping.

Clatters works as a Progressive Web App. On supported browsers, users can install it for a full-screen, app-like experience.

• Use the browser install prompt or the in-app install banner.
• Install on desktop or mobile.
• Use the new C-mark icon for app surfaces, splash, favicon, and Play Store assets.
• Clear old PWA data after a major rebrand if old icons persist.

Clatters is an 18+ platform. The tone can be vibrant, but the safety layer must stay serious and clear.

• Users must verify they are 18 or older.
• Users can report harmful content or behaviour.
• Private information should not be displayed publicly unless the user chooses it.
• Moderation and account restrictions should be explained in plain language.
• Reduced-motion users should receive a simple fade instead of particle-heavy splash animation.

Profiles help people understand who they are talking to. Keep profile copy simple and personal.

• Update display name, avatar, bio, and preferences.
• Control who can message or follow you.
• Manage notification preferences.
• Sign out from shared devices when finished.

Billing and wallet surfaces support future creator and premium features. Public copy should not overpromise; describe them as plan, payment, wallet, and Pro entry points.

• View plan status and available features.
• Use Pro prompts for premium moments only.
• Keep pricing and wallet copy transparent.
• Route billing questions to support@clatterme.com.

The API is for app integrations, automation, admin surfaces, and future SoftQraft operations. Public API docs should be direct and practical.
