LIBRE Update: Smarter Country Detection, Language Filters, Auto-Draft & Character Counter

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

A quick update on LIBRE, the anonymous writing space I launched recently.

In case you missed it, LIBRE is a simple, anonymous website where anyone can write freely, without login, accounts, or tracking. No likes, no comments, no pressure. Just write, and let go.

You can try it here: 🌐 [https://libreantisocial.com]


βœ… What’s new?

Over the past few days, I’ve been working on small but meaningful improvements, based on real-world use and feedback:

🌍 Accurate Country Detection (193 countries)

  • LIBRE now detects visitors' countries more reliably β€” covering all 193 UN-recognized countries.
  • This improves future plans for global stats, language insights, and subtle personalization (without compromising anonymity).

πŸ—£οΈ Language Filter (Spanish / English)

  • You can now filter the thoughts by language.
  • Helps users read what's most relevant or understandable to them.
  • For now, only English and Spanish are supported β€” more may come later.

✍️ Auto-Draft Mode

  • One of the most requested features: your text won’t disappear if you accidentally close or refresh the page.
  • Your current draft is saved locally (browser-only) until you publish or clear it.

πŸ”’ Character Counter

  • A small but helpful addition: see how much space you have left as you type (max: 500 characters).
  • Helps with clarity and intentional writing.

πŸ“Œ Coming soon

  • Anonymous β€œecho” mode: old thoughts resurfacing at random.
  • Optional prompt suggestions for those who need a nudge to write.
  • Very light touch moderation for flagged or harmful content.

Thanks to everyone who's tried LIBRE so far β€” it's still an experiment, but it’s slowly becoming a quiet collective of anonymous voices.

Feel free to test the new features and share your thoughts.

Always open to feedback β€” especially if you care about anonymity, writing, or the weird corners of the internet. 🌐
