Differ is a place to publish small interactive pieces (memes, toys, jokes, interactive infographics) that anyone can play, share and remix.
Think of a meme you can play.
We’re not looking for games. We’d love to see what else you can think of: an interactive infographic, a meme you can mess with, a map that answers back.
We’re inviting up to 20 creative coders to make the first wave of work on Differ and help shape what it becomes.
How it works
- 01
Share your portfolio.
Share a link to your website or social showcasing your work.
- 02
Make one thing.
Build a miniapp on Differ and send it to us. If you'd have made it anyway, you're who we're looking for. You can also use something you've previously made.
- 03
Join the group.
We're starting with a small group of makers. We'll invite you in if it's a fit.
- 04
Keep making.
Publish under your own name, at your own pace. Post at least once a month to keep your founding spot. Beyond that, no quotas and no deadlines.
What we pay
Think of it less as a gig and more as getting paid, credited and seen for the side projects you’d work on anyway.
You’d also be first on a new platform, and we’ll be putting real money behind growing it. The founding makers are the ones in front of people first.
$70 per accepted post, up to 10 posts ($700) per month. Drag to your month:
× $70
Plus bonuses for anything that travels.
- Bonuses for work that travels. On Differ: +$30 when a post passes 250 plays or 10 remixes, and +$150 at 2,500 plays or 100 remixes.
- On X. Post your piece from your own account. You get +$25 when the post passes 5,000 views and +$100 at 50,000. Send us the link to claim it.
- Bigger ideas. If something needs more than an hour or two, pitch it to us and we’ll agree a custom fee before you start.
We pay once a month, for everything accepted that month, bonuses included. Fees are in US dollars; we’ll pay you in your local currency at the day’s rate.
We pay for everything submitted in good faith. If a piece isn’t right for Differ, we’ll tell you specifically why. We or you can end the partnership at any time.
What makes a good post
What you get beyond the fee
- Founding maker credit on your work and your profile.

- Your work featured in our posts and shown at our meet-ups.
The terms
- You keep authorship and credit.
- We get a licence to host, promote and let others remix your posts.
That’s it.
