Vera Request early access

Vera features

Explore Vera features

Discover what invited members can do today, and what is still to come. Vera is in an early-access alpha, and every card says plainly whether it is live or planned.

College students only, for now. Because our resources are limited, early access is currently open only to college students with a .edu email address. We email an invitation to that address, and your request is complete only when you open it, which also confirms the address is yours. After you create your account, you can switch to a personal email for daily sign-in with the same password. Your college email then stays linked to that account and cannot be used for another one, which helps prevent fraud.

Adults 18 and older only. We use your email only to send your invitation.

By invitationInvitations go out in small daily batches. Requests beyond a day's batch are read and approved by hand.

    A small weekly set, no endless feed

    A small weekly set of essays that members chose to share. Read them signed in, and opt your own notes in if you wish.

    • Only notes whose authors opted in appear
    • The set is small and changes each week
    • Report an essay that does not belong

  • Public Friend Partner up to three
    Connect Live in early access

    Every step is explicit and mutual

    Connections are explicit and mutual. Names stay hidden until a Friend request is accepted, and Partner is a deliberate extra step, limited to three.

    • A public profile is not a connection
    • Friend is mutual and opens private letters
    • Partner is a deliberate promotion, capped at three

    • A minimum length keeps letters thoughtful
    • One letter per person per day
    • Nothing tells you who is online or who has read

    Block, report, and stay in control

Ready when you are

Ask for a place in early access.
