What if everyone knew something about everything?

Shorti

Shorti was a collective effort to shrink the world’s knowledge into small, bright fragments. A library where every fact opened a door, to something, somewhere, or someone else entirely.

Knowledge sharing
2013→ 2016

Shorti began in 2013 as a counter-design to the chaos. Social feeds had become noise, clickbait, echo chambers, endless distraction.

We believed knowledge didn’t need to be long to be deep. Shorti became a living library of fast, clear insights, connecting people to ideas, places, and each other through small, powerful fragments.

Too long. Didn’t read.
From Bactrian Camel to Kon-Tiki, Time to Hydrogen. Shortis took seconds to read, hours to forget, and no time to share.

Shortis could go anywhere.
200 characters, one image, no clicks. You could browse the library on shorti.com or carry it in your pocket with the iOS app, tiny windows into the world, wherever you were.
