Your own page
Pick a theme and make your page as loud or as calm as you are.
Write anything.
Under a name you choose.
Chalk is our campus writing wall. Rants, poems, half-thoughts, the song stuck in your head, the tap that's been broken since August.
Pick a label. Say the thing.
Every post gets a label, so you can read the mood you're in.
#rant
Let it out. The mess food, the 8am class, the Wi-Fi.
#poetry
Verse, free or otherwise. Nobody's grading this.
#mess
Half-thoughts and doodles in words. It doesn't have to make sense.
#music
What's on repeat, and why you can't stop.
#fixit
Something on campus that needs fixing. Say it so it gets fixed.
A small corner of the internet, just for us.
One shared feed
Everything the campus is writing, newest first. Filter by label.
Fix the campus
Broken fan? Endless queue? Post it under #fixit so the right people see it.
How names work
- You log in with your account, so everyone here is from campus.
- You post under a handle. Other students only ever see the handle.
- Moderators can see which account is behind a handle, but only look in serious cases. It's in the rules.
- It's a nickname, not a mask. On a small campus, people may still recognise how you write.
Built by students, in the open.
Chalk is open source and built by our open source guild. Your first contribution could be a theme, a drawing for this page, or a bug fix.
