Keirin Sports is a very simple app: sports news, information and discussions only. No politics, no crypto, no people complaining about someone sitting in their seat on a plane, and on and one. Just the best sports news, information and discussions, without the noise.
You’ll first see featured stories. You don’t need to create an account to see them. Just short posts most with links to the source. From there you can create an account (we recommend using your Apple or Google ID for ease) dig deeper and create lists of accounts you follow. You can share news and thoughts of your own and invite others to comment. See a comment you don’t like? You can delete it just about instantly without having to contact a moderator.
The app was built hardened against abuse.
As for the name? Keirin?
Keirin is a wild bike race started in Japan where cyclists follow a motorcycle for the first part of the race before sprinting to the finish line. Going to be in the LA28 games. The name shows how there’s always something new and fun in sports to find (plus it’s short, different and relatively easy to remember).
How Does the App Actually Work?
You can create short posts (100 character max) with links to news, information and topics of discussion from the world of sports. You or anyone else can respond to your posts.
Again, the app is all about sports only and offers …
1. News/Info – Share a short summation of news or info along with an outbound link.
2. You – All your posts are stored here. So is your bio. Right in this tab.
There is a NEW POST button on the navigation panel. If you want to share something, create a post and see what happens.
How Can You Find Stuff on the App?
We get you started with Featured feeds of info/news and comments to show you what we think is good stuff. Log in if you want to contribute, reach out if you want to be in the featured feed. Just check in if you don’t want to yet. You can also click on the + or account name and follow or unfollow them in your feeds once you’re signed up/signed in (this functionality is coming soon). You can sort feeds with the top screen hamburger icon between Featured, Popular and New.
How Can I Get Featured?
Post good stuff and reach out and let us know. If we like it, you get Featured.
Either way, you own all the posts you create and anyone can respond to them. Some rando (or your ‘best’ friend) responds with a something you don’t like? Whatever. With just two clicks, you can delete what they posted forever. Don’t like the post you built for whatever reason? Delete it. It’s gone forever.
You own it.
While the user has 100% control of their posts. You can delete them at any time and delete anyone’s response just about immediately. \Admin will check in on reported/spammy posts and responses regularly. We’ll also clean up anything that looks spammy or abusive, as well as most anything related to politics. There are other apps for that stuff.
