INTERFACES AREN'T NEUTRAL, THEY'RE CULTURE

When we build tools, we build culture. Every button, every screen, every interaction shapes how we think and work together. Discord created servers and channels — suddenly communities organized themselves in new ways. Telegram created groups — information started to flow differently. Twitter created the timeline - suddenly the world thought in chronological hot takes. Reddit created upvotes - suddenly the internet had democracy. Each interface choice rippled out into how millions of people think and behave.

McLuhan said 'the medium is the message' - he knew that HOW we communicate shapes WHAT we communicate. The interfaces we build aren't just tools, they're languages. They're cultures. They're reality-builders.

CULTURE ISN'T BUILT, IT'S GROWN

Jupiter isn’t just a protocol or a business, it is not just a DAO either. It is a community of builders, thinkers, cats, and curiosities working to accelerate the decentralized meta. We’re creating something truly novel — not just in the tech, but also in the coordination.

PPP isn’t just a philosophy, it needs to be built into everything that we do — when someone opens a Jupiter community page they should feel the culture immediately, be affronted by it, not be affronted by just another corporate landing page or documents website. 

Those are mid, and fuck mid. Mid is the enemy of magic. Mid is the death of curiosity. Mid is what happens when you optimize for everyone and excite no one. 

Mid community interfaces (jup(.)eco, jupresear.()ch) build mid interactions, and Jupiter isn't mid.

And yes, I built Jup Eco, and yes, I find it to be deeply mid. We've outgrown it. 

Hide shit so that cats can search and paw around something, cats don’t want to be told what toy to play with, they want to pick and choose, and forget about others. A cat doesn't read instruction manuals. A cat doesn't want a tutorial. A cat wants to knock shit over until something interesting happens. The community’s interface should enable the chaos of discovery and curiosity.

TOYS (TOOLS) SHAPE BEHAVIOR

We need a space that grows organically with our community. Where new cats naturally become contributors, where information can be prioritized, notified, and doesn’t get lost. 

Maybe it looks like an operating system, with windows for different activities — Doc Preballin has an music player, Slorg has a soap box. Branding kits are in “apps” and voting and looking at a proposal can happen simultaneously, on the same screen. 

Maybe its more like a living map — showing connection, enabling exploration, growing with the community. 

Maybe it’s a videogame. 

Maybe it is something entirely new. 

The question is: how do we build internet spaces that:

• Enable organic community growth
• Preserve knowledge while staying dynamic
• Feel like home to builders and dreamers
• Scale with our ambitions
• Make PPP natural and rewarding

What kind of spaces would unlock our community's potential?

What interfaces would make contribution and collaboration natural?

How can we build tools that reflect and reinforce our culture?

Let's explore these questions together. Let's build spaces worthy of our community.

Because in the end, we're not just building interfaces.

This isn’t just about UX, this isn’t just about design or UI. This is about building digital spaces that feel alive. Spaces that purr. Spaces that make you want to poke around and break things, knock shit off the counter.

The future isn't a landing page.
The future isn't a docs site.
The future isn't a dashboard.
The future isn't safe.
The future is a playground.
The future is an experiment.
The future is where cats run wild.
Let's fucking build it. Right meow.
