About Ukrainian Social Network Yurba.one

Yurba.one is a Ukrainian social network, formerly known under the domains Yurba.me and yurba.ml, which positions itself as a modern social network with a contemporary interface. Its history begins long before the creation of the social network itself — in 2021, when the project started as a torrent tracker (initially called TickTracker), which was supposed to become an alternative to toloka.to. Currently, the social network is in active development.

History and Key Milestones

Development of the Yurba project began in April 2021. Important development stages include:
