Shelfy basics
How do I sign up?
Sign up here! It’s free to become a Shelfy member. We just ask everyone to fill out a brief application to keeps bots out and welcome thoughtful people in.
How does Shelfy work?
On Shelfy, every member creates a mini-profile consisting of 8 public posts (we call them "blocks") that showcase what’s most important to you right now. Whether it's a song that’s stuck in your head, a new hobby that excites you, or a book that changed your perspective, your Shelf is a glimpse into your world.
Why only 8 posts?
Shelfy limits each profile to 8 blocks to encourage members to focus on sharing what truly matters. This constraint inspires thoughtful curation of your posts, helping you present a clear, authentic reflection of your current interests and influences. As your passions and perspectives evolve, you can update your Shelf to keep it fresh and aligned with your current self.
What is the Archive?
The Archive is your personal space to store past blocks when you update your Shelf. Instead of permanently deleting a post, you can move it to your Archive, creating a private time capsule of your former interests and experiences. Only you can view your Archive, ensuring your memories are preserved while your public profile remains up-to-date.

You can share anything that resonates with you in the moment. This might include books you're reading, music you're listening to, movies or TV shows you're into, fashion trends you're following, recipes you're experimenting with, or even abstract ideas and concepts that have caught your attention.
How should I choose what to post?

How often should I update my blocks?
There’s no right or wrong answer—update your blocks whenever you feel your interests have shifted. Some members refresh their shelves daily, while others may update weekly. The only goal is to ensure that your shelf always reflects your current self.
