Is there a Blind alternative for engineers that is anonymous but still verified?
Sensus is an anonymous-but-verified network for engineers: spaces for harness, inference, eval, security and agentic engineers, frontier labs, hyperscalers and recruiting, where members post anonymously inside a room whose membership is verified, and where the room's opinion on a model, a tool or an employer is a counted share rather than a thread of claims.
| Blind | Sensus | |
|---|---|---|
| Verification | Work email | Verified membership of a profession's space |
| Posts | Anonymous threads | Anonymous or named questions with counted selections |
| Opinion on a model or tool | Scattered comments | A share, its weekly move, a ranking |
| AI | None | Reputable AI search from members' votes |
How Sensus compares with Blind
Blind verifies a work email and runs anonymous threads. Sensus verifies membership in a profession's space, lets posts be anonymous, and makes the answer a measurement: the share choosing each selection, the weekly move, and rankings across the rooms.
Rooms for engineers today
Harness Engineers, Inference Engineers, Eval Engineers, Security Engineers, Agentic Engineers, Frontier Labs, Hyperscalers, Recruiting, Claude Builders, XAI Fanatics. Niche rooms open as they are needed, such as big-tech recruiting and quant interview prep.
What the rooms measure
- Which model or tool engineers prefer for a job this week, and how that moved.
- Weekly highlights proposed by members and voted on.
- Readings on topics the room keeps returning to: reliability, cost per task, the freedom to switch models.
Sensus is an invite-only private beta on iOS. The waitlist is the way in; members can also send an invite link.
Questions people ask
Is my employer visible?
Only what you choose to show. Verified affiliations appear as marks on your profile when you add them; anonymous posts show none.
How is Sensus different from Reddit for engineers?
Membership is verified, the posts are questions with counted selections, and the weekly layer is computed from votes rather than upvoted comments.
Do I need an invite?
