How this page is made
We show our work
Every story on Yipi! says where it came from, because a recommendation you can't trace is just an advert with better manners.
It starts with what people already said
Picks are drawn from local press, awards and public coverage, and each one names its source. Where we could not verify a source, the pick carries no citation and the page makes no claim about one.
We ask before we show someone
A member's name and face appear only while they have given consent for it, and withdrawing that consent removes them immediately. Counts are unaffected — how many people are in a circle is a fact about the circle, not about any one member.
We say when AI helped
Stories drafted with AI assistance are marked as such, and carry a disclosure in the brand's own words shown with the story. Our AI pipeline sets that mark itself, so it does not depend on anyone remembering. Stories written by a person carry no mark.
What we always do
- Follow AP Style as the baseline authority
- Use clear, descriptive headlines that stand alone without surrounding context
- Keep paragraphs to 2–4 sentences maximum for digital readability
- Distinguish opinion clearly from fact
- Attribute claims where necessary
- Ground every claim in verified source material
- Keep each section self-contained and quotable
- Name the city, neighborhood, or region explicitly in the body — not just the meta
What we never do
- Use unsupported claims or hype language
- Use ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation
- Invent details, dialogue, or outcomes
- Infer emotion or motivation that is not explicitly stated
- Add unverifiable superlatives without attribution
- Assume reader knowledge — always add context
