you coming
A lowkey hangout app for iOS and Android designed around hanging out rather than chatting or engagement with strangers. Users add friends, acquaintances, and new contacts, throw out plan ideas (even without a time or place at first), and add bucket-list items to their profile. Others can opt in, settle on a time, or pitch a plan everyone can vote on. Group chat only opens once people, time, and place are set, and self-destructs after the event. Events can also be shared with RSVP collection for people off-app. The author plans to launch curated events in London.
What it addresses
The author moved to London and was drowning in 500-person WhatsApp group chats to make friends, finding it took too much executive function just to go to a bar.
Shared over time
Each entry reflects what was shared on that date. Details may have changed since then.
