Our mission is to empower everyone to build the internet. Universe is the first website builder designed from the ground up for phones. In less than a minute, anyone can make a beautiful site from their mobile device. This is possible because of our breakthrough modular grid editor (https://vimeo.com/260165283), which makes building a site as fun as playing with Lego.

Facebook is now many things, but when it started it was about identity: this is who I am, this is who I know, this is what I care about.
As Facebook has expanded, it's become a mostly passive experience. This is a byproduct of Facebook's business model, which is to sell other people's time. Like any business, it's incentivized to maximized its inventory, which in this case is time spent on Facebook properties.
People are waking up to the fact that Facebook doesn't add value to your life, it extracts value by consuming your time.
There is another way. You don't need to be the product.
This is why I created Universe (YC W'18), a new kind of tool that allows everyone to build their place on the internet—their own website, with their own domain, and their own design.
The internet should look more like a bustling, erratic metropolis and less like a centrally-planned suburb. To do that, it needs to be built by everyone.
Going to throw our hat in the ring here. We built Universe (http://apple.co/Universe) for precisely this reason: to enable everyone to build their place on the internet, without touching code, all from a phone.
Hey folks, we're announcing Universe: the easiest way to make a website on your phone. Choose a custom domain, build your site, and share it—all in less than a minute, on your iPhone, for free. Check it out!
TLDR; Hypercard for Mobile. Longer: A visual “programming language” for iOS + beyond. In Universe you create cards, which can be anything from a game to a cookbook. The Universe network is a rethinking of the Web for mobile: a modern, open software platform that sits on top of the local OS.
We are looking to add an expert iOS engineer to our team in New York. Email me (CEO) at [email protected] with interest.
Hey all — this is Joe, CEO at Universe. We're beginning to share more about our project with this new site.
We're looking for an expert iOS engineer to join us in Williamsburg, NY. You can reach me directly at [email protected].
I'm happy to answer questions here as well.

What if creating software was more like playing an instrument? Or painting on a canvas? We’re building a new kind of “programming language”: a multi-sensory set of tools that makes creating software fun. It's designed from the ground-up for your smartphone, the computer we all have.
Your canvas is a card. Cards can be anything, from a game to a cookbook—and anyone can make them, no coding required. The cards you make exist in Universe, a rethinking of the Web for mobile. We’re taking today’s technology and three decades of learnings to design a new, open software platform.
For professors and instructors looking to try something new, see http://coursekit.com. We're in a private beta this semester and are still accepting classes.
