The one-line

Sourced is the source-cited content platform. Every public post links to its primary source — database-enforced, not optional. Chronological feed, no algorithm. 90% of revenue flows into a creator pool — operating costs come out of that pool, the rest goes to creators by impressions. Owner takes a flat 10% of gross.

Why it exists

Long-form, source-traced reporting loses systematically on every algorithmic platform. Sourced is built against that — source-required posts surface in chronological order to readers who came here on purpose.

The platform is structurally different in three ways: the feed isn't engagement-ranked, there's no "like" button (reactions are insightful / agree / disagree / sourced / thanks), and the platform's books are public — every dollar in and out is on /transparency updated nightly.

Founder

Antonio Lemus is a self-taught developer and twenty-year construction estimator at a multi-family builder in the Midwest. He runs a small portfolio of products at Unlimited Apps, Inc.

The non-negotiables (also in our public docs)

  1. Content posts must link to ≥ 1 primary source. DB-enforced.
  2. The feed is chronological. No algorithmic ranking. Ever.
  3. No "like" button. Five reactions, each with intent.
  4. No infinite scroll. Pagination is explicit. End of feed is reached.
  5. Owner takes 10% of gross revenue, off the top. Creators share the remaining 90% pool after operating costs, distributed by impressions.
  6. Platform costs are publicly readable, updated nightly.
  7. Ads are contextual. Zero behavioral targeting. No lookalike audiences.
  8. Promoted posts pass the same moderation as organic. No buying past the source requirement.
