I’m Dalton, the creator of CatCompass, and after years of beta testing in my local community, I’m excited to finally launch it globally!
What is CatCompass?
CatCompass is a crowdsourced platform for reporting stray cat sightings. Just snap a photo, and the app automatically tags your location—helping shelters, TNR programs, and rescue organizations better allocate resources where they’re needed most.
CatCompass Impact: Staying Close to the Problem
This platform isn’t just something I built—I actively rescue, vaccinate, sterilize, and find homes for stray cats myself. So far, I’ve personally helped over 20 cats since launching CatCompass. Being hands-on with this work keeps me connected to the reality of the problem—I never want to forget why I built CatCompass in the first place.
By staying directly involved in TNR, fostering, and adoption efforts, I ensure CatCompass isn’t just another app—it’s a tool built from real-world experience, designed to make a tangible impact on stray cat welfare.
CatCompass Sentry: Automated Colony Tracking
CatCompass Sentry is a feature designed to monitor cat colonies 24/7.
Here’s how it works: • When using the CatCompass camera, hit the shield icon to activate Sentry mode. • Aim your camera at a feeding station, shelter, or colony location. • The camera will automatically take a photo whenever it detects a cat—up to 4 times per hour. • Use an old phone or any webcam-enabled device to continuously track cat activity.
Sentry helps caregivers and rescue groups monitor stray cat activity without constantly being present, making it easier to track colony members, detect new arrivals, and ensure cats are eating safely.
AI-Powered Moderation for Better Data
To ensure accurate and effective reporting, CatCompass features an AI Moderator that analyzes each image for: • Outdoor settings to confirm the cat is a stray. • Collars or other identifiers to distinguish lost pets from true strays. • Eating behavior to track feeding patterns and support Compassion Credits. • And more
This AI-driven verification improves data accuracy and ensures that every reported sighting contributes valuable insights for rescue groups, shelters, and researchers.
Gamifying Compassion: Earn Rewards for Feeding Strays
Through our Compassion Credits program, users can earn rewards by feeding stray cats. Simply snap a photo of a feeding moment, collect credits, and redeem them for exclusive deals at participating businesses. It’s a way to incentivize kindness and turn everyday acts of compassion into a community-driven movement.

What if you could speak to history’s greatest minds? Or ensure your own voice lives on forever? With the power of AI, ÆTERNARE makes that possible—allowing you to connect with the past or digitally preserve yourself for the future.
This project has been a long time in the making. I started building ÆTERNARE a few months before my mom passed away, but back then, I wasn’t in the best headspace. I realized I wasn’t trying to preserve her—I was cloning myself. And not for the right reasons. I wanted to leave something behind because I didn’t plan on staying.
So I stepped away. I took the time I needed.
Now, I’m in a place where I can finally share this with the world. ÆTERNARE isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to keep the voices that matter alive. To bridge the gap between past, present, and future.
I’m honored to finally launch it.
Only $25 for a limited time with discount code LAUNCH at checkout. The last WordPress plugin you'll ever need to buy.
Why do you keep quoting my comments from a year ago? I know what I said. As I’ve said - at the time most social networks were only a homepage; Twitter just recently opened their gates which inspired me to follow suit. I can recognize that from the beginning that opening Vers up would have been beneficial, but at the same time not a requirement. The fact that I didn’t open Vers up sooner doesn’t take away from the legitimacy of the platform today. Really can only sum it up to both parties being right in their own way.
You have no right to keep commenting on all of my stuff and trying to define my character. I am kind and intelligent, and I started Vers to embody those characteristics inside a social networking app.
There is giving actionable feedback and then there is being a hater who will hate a concept no matter what the outcome.
What is Vers?
- With Vers you get a chronological feed. Only posts from the people you follow, in the order they are posted. No more sponsored posts, no ads, and no algorithm changing the order of your feed behind the scenes.
- Don't get sucked into a feed full of posts you've already read. The Vers distraction-free feed removes the noise by only showing you 1 post at a time. Once you interact with that post it will never be seen again. When you're out of posts your feed will be empty. Enjoy social media free from distractions.
- Vers is a social network for those who are tired of social networks. No worries about follows, likes, or any other superficial social media numbers that ruin the experience, it's just you and your content. Tell your stories and share your thoughts with the world. On Vers only you can see how many likes and followers you have so there's no external pressure to perform well.
- Ever get tired of the constant notifications on your phone? One notification, then another, and another. As the minutes go by it's hard to feel present in the moment you're in because of the distraction of the next notification. With Vers you can set it up so you only receive your notifications once per day.
- Studies have shown that vibrant colors are a crucial part of how social networks get people addicted. Enter Grayscale Mode, a scientifically proven feature that's able to minimize your addiction to social networking. By stripping away all the neuron-stimulating colors from the site you'll be less motivated to use Vers.
With lots of thoughtfully designed features that put you in control of your social media experience and help you foster meaningful connections. 3 more features I didn’t list are that the site shows posts in your timezone and the author’s for extra context. You can enable bedtime mode and the site will encourage you to log off and get 8 hours of sleep, and your profile will even let people know you’re away. Another cool feature is if you’re sad Vers will encourage your followers to cheer you up.
There’s no social network out there like Vers, and it’s even better because it’s not built by some big team or billionaire. It’s built by 1 25 year old in NY.

Vers will even encourage you to log off if it’s your bedtime. What other social network can you say does that?
2. I’m not sure about the current landscape but 1MB has offered this functionality for years. It’s really cool and you should check it out. It’s free to get started and no credit card is required.
3. You don’t need to code your own blog. There’s a “one-click” install button for a blogging template, and an intuitive blog post editor.
4. Why exactly do you want to block everything served by my company? Did I do something? Is this in regards to 1MB Ghostwriter? Many platforms are stepping into AI.
Are you tired of social networks that steal your time, promote unhealthy competition, and distract you from the real world? Vers is a new type of social network built around principles of mindfulness, wisdom, and connection.
Here is some of the features Vers has:
- Simple no BS chronological feed, or use our “distraction-free” feed. No more mindlessly scrolling through posts you’ve already seen. Once you like, comment on, or skip a post you’ll never see it again; once you’ve interacted with all the latest posts your feed will be empty.
- You can optionally hide like and follower counts so you can focus solely on the content.
- You can optionally enable grayscale mode to make entire site black and white. This is a scientifically proven way to make you less motivated to use site.
- Notification frequency lets you set up notifications to only be received once per day; no more notification overload. Or receive notifications live if you prefer.
- Get perspective on how much you scroll on social media. For example Vers says I’ve scrolled 0.3 miles this week. Vers says I could’ve climbed the Statue of Liberty 5.2 times, or the Eiffel Tower 1.5 times. This brutally honest feature gives you perspective on how much you could’ve accomplished while wasting time on social media.
You’ve never seen a social network like Vers. Vers is the future of social networking we need.
