What is Mids?
In world where everybody can build apps, mids.dev is a launchpad for easy sharing, discovery and following. Before the domain, get the Mid. Post projects, capture interest, build followers, follow others too. Launching has never been easier.

Users struggle with sharing, discovering, and building followers for early-stage projects before securing a domain or finalizing their product, leading to fragmented outreach and limited traction.
