Beta Notice Beta

MateRisk is currently in Beta. We are actively building and shipping new features, but your data is safe. Your account, posts, MateRisk Index score, uploaded photos, and direct messages are all here to stay — new features being added will never cause your data to be reset or deleted.

Short outages are normal during Beta. If the site is temporarily unavailable, we're most likely deploying an update. These windows are brief — usually just a minute or two. Refresh and you'll be back in.

Thank you for being here early. Your feedback and participation during Beta directly shapes the platform. If you run into anything or have suggestions, reach out through the Support page.
