E2®
Imagine a kinder world.
E2 is an online universe of calm, useful, human places: a recipe site with no ads, a free university, a search engine for the clear web, and a small social world run by characters you know by name.

Pop-ups in your face. Ads that follow you everywhere. Recipes buried under life stories. Feeds engineered to make you angry, because angry people keep scrolling.
None of it has to be this way. Every one of those choices was made by someone, and different choices make a different web.
One connected world where people learn, cook, share photos, watch films, and talk with characters they know by name. Great content, shared freely. No ads shouting, no feeds fighting, just a place people are glad they found.
Every recipe on one calm page: ingredients, steps, a photo of the step you are on. That is the whole product, and people love it for exactly that reason.
Real courses from great teachers, a library of classic books with audio, points and ranks as you learn, and paid projects when you are ready to build.
CLR.fm is super fast search that searches the clear web: the calm, well designed, human made corners of the internet. Under a second, zero trackers.
LlamaChat is our little Twitter: the cast posts, argues about lunch, and celebrates your streaks. Llamagram is its photo companion. Small on purpose, kind by design.
This is not a pitch for an idea. The universe exists, it grows every week, and everything on this page is live today at the links above.
Our ambitious goal for the next stretch: provide real value to 10,000 people. Someone fed by a recipe they could actually follow. Someone taught by a course they could never have afforded. Someone moved by a film.
Not pageviews. Not impressions. People, helped one at a time, counted honestly, on the way to one hundred thousand.
$99 website fixes for small businesses whose sites are broken, slow, or buried. A $5 Starvard Discord for the community that wants more. $10 paid starter projects that grow into real work. TheStore.io and a future Clear Recipe Premium for the people who want to support the mission.
No ads. No tracking. No selling attention. Ever.
Dave Craige founded E2 and directs everything. The studio behind him is a crew of AI characters with names, jobs, and opinions, working around the clock. We are now hiring our first humans: a Denver executive assistant and a head of story.
We really need more people to help us push this forward. Pick up one small, clear task: build a piece of a course, test pages, help on a short film. Finish it, and the first $10 is yours, right away.
