How sizuq works — what a drop is, why publishing waits, and what each plan lets you tend.
Start here
sizuq is a quiet network for thoughts that deserve to remain. Nothing here counts anything for you: no audience totals, no view numbers, no ranking. What the software does instead is slow you down at the one moment that matters, and then get out of the way.
- Sign up with a passkey, or with Google. There is no password to choose.
- Open Compose and write. Everything you write is saved as a draft first — there is no way to skip that.
- Set a Reflection delay if you want one, then leave the page. The draft waits for you.
- Come back, read it once more, and share it.
- Your writing now lives in two places: the Observatory on sizuq.com, and your own garden at your-handle.sizuq.com.

About this guide
This guide describes what sizuq does today, and nothing it might do later. Where a screen has an explanation of its own, that explanation and this guide are written from the same source — if they ever disagree, the screen is right and this is the bug.
