Greenlight social

This app lets friend groups coordinate activities with a single button press instead of asking "Does anyone want to join X?". Users create a group per activity (e.g. "Play Dota 2" or "Beer at local pub"), and "going green" signals they are ready, triggering a push notification like "Paul is greenlit!" to the other group members. It aims to lower the threshold for initiating get-togethers by cutting down logistics chatter.

    “Greenlight social. It's basically an app for saying "I'm ready" or "Let's do x...".”
