Stips (website)

Stips (Hebrew: סטיפס; transliteration: Stips; literally: "short tips") is an Israeli community-driven question-and-answer (Q&A) website or knowledge market primarily aimed at the youth. The platform enables users to seek and offer anonymous advice on a wide range of topics, including technology, music, academics, and philosophy. The website was founded in 2006 by Dr. Nadav Dafni, and in 2018, an official Android application was launched. Content moderation is handled by a team of users referred to as "trustees" ("נאמנים"), who are granted special privileges, such as the ability to delete or edit questions. These users often monitor the site for cases that may require police intervention, such as instances of suicide threats or child abuse. Stips is organized into various categories based on topics and interests. As of recent rankings, the website is placed 45th among the most popular websites in Israel according to SimilarWeb. It also ranks first among Israeli websites in the field of nutrition and fitness.
