One idea at a time. Follow the phrase that catches.
Delv is a knowledge app built for tangents. Every screen is a single node — under fifty words, one concrete thing. A few phrases in it glow, and those are the ones with somewhere to go.
In development — the app store listing isn't live yet.
In 1984, Michael Jordan laced up the first Air Jordans, a partnership that ushered in sneaker culture as we know it. That single shoe racked up $126 million in its debut year.
Fashion, identity, and sports collided, creating a cultural behemoth that still shapes trends today.
An actual node. Hold the glowing phrase to descend into it; swipe sideways for another voice on the same idea.
How a dive works
Nothing is a feed. Each dive is a chain you made by choosing, and it's yours to trace back up.
Type a concept, or take one of the day's. A node is written for it on the spot — one idea, anchored in a number, a name, a date.
Only the phrases with a real tangent behind them light up, so a dive is never spent on filler. Hold one and the node you're leaving slides away as the next arrives.
The chain you made is kept as a map, not a history list. Reopen it and carry on from the bottom, or branch off somewhere new.
Sixteen voices
Every concept can be narrated by any of them, and each has its own obsessions and way of getting to the point. Swipe left or right to change narrator — the idea stays put, the telling doesn't.
What you keep
Twelve nodes about the origins of team names, the one place it forked, the voice you switched to halfway down — that's a map, and it's the record of how you actually think. Delv keeps them instead of a reading history.
