Why people look for an Instinct alternative
Most people searching this have the same problem: they heard Instinct is good, then hit an invite wall. Codes circulate on Reddit and X, expire, or get used up in minutes.
Norma takes the opposite approach. Everyone joins the same public line, and access opens in order. Share your link and you move up.
What stays the same, what gets better
Like Instinct, Norma is built to do things, not just answer: book, remember, follow up. The difference is that Norma lives where you already text, so there is nothing new to install or learn.
