Make something
real.
A social platform for creators, builders, and people finding their footing — with Draev AI in the room and real humans on the other side of the screen.
18+ · $4.20 once at the door · no ads · no data sales · anonymous by default
Building social differently.
The internet is changing quickly. More of what we see online is automated, optimized, and designed around attention. That has created incredible tools and communities, but it can also make it harder for genuine conversation and meaningful participation to stand out.
SoberMobi is my attempt to build something with a different balance: a place where people are encouraged to show up, respect each other, share what they're making, and take part in the community around them. The $4.20 entry helps us keep the space intentional and supports the work without relying on ads or selling people's data.
I'm not trying to replace the platforms I've learned from. I respect what they've built. I'm trying to add another kind of space — one where engagement means more than numbers, and where the community behind the product has a real voice in what comes next.

The whole paywall
$4.20
once. Not a subscription. Not for profit — for proof.
- A small one-time payment helps keep the community intentional and welcoming.
- Respect and accountability matter because real people are investing their time here.
- Everyone is welcome to participate, create, connect, and contribute.
- Your $4.20 helps fund the build instead of advertising deciding the direction.
18+ only. Doors are open now while the toll booth ships — early humans get in ahead of it. If you have bad intentions, keep your $4.20. Between moderation and draev.ai, you wouldn't last long anyway.
Zero judgment. That's the whole rule.
Whether you're twenty years sober or still in the thick of it, this is a place to connect and learn from each other without the judgment and the hate. The world is craving real people and real stories — so we built somewhere they're safe to tell.
Learn from each other
Day one or twenty years sober, rough past or clean record — lived experience is the curriculum here. Everybody in this place knows something the algorithm never taught you.
Quality over quantity
No growth hacks, no engagement bait, no chasing headcount. A small room full of real ones beats a stadium full of bots every single time.
Love over hate
Be fair. Do the right thing. Look out for each other. The past is for learning from, not for holding over people — and we protect that energy hard.
What's already live inside.
Everything below is live today. No mockups, no roadmap items dressed up as features.
Real stories, in the order people told them.
No algorithm deciding who deserves to be seen. Post the win, the bad night, or the thing you've been carrying around all day — and get answered by humans who've lived it, not accounts farming your attention.
- Chronological — your feed is what people actually said, not what an algorithm sold
- Anonymous toggle on every post, so you can be yourself at your own pace
- Strength, Me Too, and Inspired instead of likes — because “like” is the wrong word
Real group chats. Real engagement. Real people.
Six live rooms — recovery, mental health, money, faith, creative, general — plus direct messages for the people who become your people. And one more room on the way: a group chat dedicated to building this app itself.
- Everyone in every room paid the same $4.20 you did — no bots, no troll armies
- DMs kept separate from the rooms
- The builders' room: your ideas go straight into the roadmap

The only bot allowed
in the building.
draev.ai is the AI that runs on SoberMobi — built into the app, not bolted on. The community raises it: the collective teaches it, it grows with the platform, and over time it earns a seat as one of the app's architects. It's learning addiction and mental health support, because going through hell alone sucks — and it stands guard against the exact bots and scammers the door was built for.
- Talks with you — real-time chat today, audio conversations on the roadmap
- Learns from the collective — and only from people who opt in. Training is off by default
- Puts 988 in front of you the second it hears crisis language
- Guards the door — bot patterns, scam behavior, and fake engagement don't survive here
You're not just using it. The community is raising it — the most human AI model, built by the collective.
Built so real people can actually earn.
A community-driven economy instead of an ad economy. You bring the art, the music, the lived experience — the platform brings the tools, the infra, and an audience of actual humans.
The Forever Wall
Upload art, the community votes in 12-hour rounds, and the strongest pieces become real merch with the creator keeping a cut.
Built-in music player
Creators drop their tracks straight into the app, so the community always has fresh music while they hang out.
Livestreaming that pays
Go live for the community and get paid for it — streams, live shopping, the whole lane.
Coach marketplace
Coaches and mentors with real lived experience, finally earning for the help they already give away.
Tools and infrastructure to build a truly loyal following — no algorithm to beg, no ad money deciding who wins. Quality over quantity, creators over middlemen.
I have the vision. I'm done building it alone.
This app gets built with its community, not just for it. There's a group chat dedicated to the app itself — every idea gets heard, the best ones get shipped. Once trust is earned, the codebase opens to people who want to build with me. And draev.ai sits at the table as one of the planners.
Co-founders
Two seats open: operations and marketing. People who want to run this with me — not advise from a distance.
Engineers
Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, AI. Own whole features, not tickets. Codebase access comes with trust, and trust comes fast when you show up.
Community leaders
The culture is the product. Hold space, run rooms, keep this place safe and welcoming for people mid-storm.
Artists & musicians
Bring the art and the tracks. The wall and the music player exist so your work gets seen, heard, and paid.
Livestreamers & live shoppers
First movers on the streaming lane when it opens. Build a truly loyal following with tools that pay you back.
Backers
No big investors bending the vision. People who want to help a brother build something that matters. Any little bit helps.
One inbox, and I read all of it. And if you just want to help keep the lights on while this gets built — any little bit helps.
Why I'm building this.
I've had a rough life and I've gotten into trouble more than once. I've also always been passionate about technology and building things. I've spent years working with my hands in construction and millwrighting, solving real problems and figuring out how things fit together.
I've wanted to build online for as long as I can remember. SoberMobi is where those two parts of my life meet: practical building, a love of tech, and a belief that people should have a place to create, connect, and support each other without being judged by their past.
I'm building this one step at a time, with the community, and with Draev AI growing alongside it. It won't be perfect, but it's meant to be useful, human, and built for the future.

support@sobermobi.comWhat people want to know first.
- Why $4.20 to get in?
- The internet is changing quickly, and more of what we see online is automated and optimized around attention. SoberMobi uses a small one-time payment to keep the space intentional, support the build, and avoid relying on ads or selling people's data. It is about creating the kind of community we want to be part of.
- Is this only for people in recovery?
- No. Recovery is in our DNA — the meetings, the tracker, and the support rooms are core — but this is for anyone 18+ who wants real people and real stories: creators, builders, learners, night owls. Twenty years sober, day one, or just done with fake social media. Zero judgment either way.
- Is it actually anonymous?
- Yes, and it is the default. You pick a display name that is not your real one, and every post has an anonymous toggle. We do not sync contacts, we do not import your address book, and nobody from your life gets recommended to you.
- What does draev.ai do with my conversations?
- Nothing, unless you opt in. Training is off by default, your words are never sold, and the moment it hears crisis language it puts 988 in front of you. It exists to support the community and guard it from bots and scams — that's the whole job.
- What happens if I relapse?
- Nothing gets taken away. There is no shame mechanic, no streak-shaming, and no screen telling you that you lost your progress. Log it, say it out loud if you want to, keep going.
- How do I actually earn here?
- The Forever Wall pays creators a cut on merch today. Livestreaming that pays, live shopping, and the coach marketplace are in build. The whole point is a community-driven economy instead of an ad-driven one.
- Can I really help build the app?
- Yes. There's a group chat dedicated to exactly that, and the roadmap gets shaped in it. Engineers who earn trust get codebase access. Co-founder seats for operations and marketing are open right now.
- How do I delete everything?
- One request in settings and it is gone. Ask for an export first if you want to keep a copy.
