About Unumae
One person, seen properly.
Unumae is a daily act of attention. One ordinary person tells a finite story; for one global day, everyone is invited to meet them.
01 · The promise
Ordinary. One. Remembered.
Every day, one ordinary person from the community becomes Today’s Human. The world discovers their story for 24 hours, asks them questions, and remembers them in the Human Archive.
- Ordinary
- No curation for fame, beauty, reach, or an idea of who seems interesting.
- One
- No second slot, runner-up, or stream of people competing beside them.
- Remembered
- After the day ends, their place remains in the Archive—subject to their right to remove their story.
02 · Limits with a purpose
The missing features are the point.
Unumae refuses the mechanics that turn meeting a person into measuring one.
- 01
No audience to accumulate
There are no followers, public popularity counts, rankings, or leaderboards.
- 02
No attention to buy
Payment, sponsorship, and existing fame can never influence selection or visibility.
- 03
No private access
There are no direct messages. Exposure must not become a channel for private harassment.
- 04
No endless consumption
There is one story, it has a bottom, and the experience ends.
03 · Open by default
A person’s story is not a signup tactic.
Today’s Human, their portrait and questions, and the Human Archive remain open to guests. Reading never requires an account or app installation.
- The selected person can decline without consequence.
- They choose what to share and which questions to answer.
- They may withhold their city, exact age, and last name.
- They may request removal of their story from the Archive.
04 · International from day one
Not one centre looking outward.
The same UTC day is shared everywhere. Nationality never affects the draw, and country is context—not a score, quota, or category of worth.
The interface begins in English, French, and German. A Human’s original words always remain visible when translations are added.
Fair attention begins with a fair draw.
The promise only matters if every eligible person enters on equal terms.
