tiny connections, small worlds

a minute is small small enough to fit between the kettle and the tea between two buses between missing someone and saying so a little signal goes out somewhere a phone lights up and a face arrives slightly too close to the camera already laughing nothing gets said that matters that’s what matters then the line runs out on time · · · tiny connections is one-minute video calls with people you already know and love how it works · a small world is a handful of friends or family. you join one with an invite code from someone already in it · tap “open” when you’re up for a tiny connection. everyone else in that small world gets a gentle nudge · the first to tap gets you, face to face. your phone rings like a normal call · sixty seconds after you’re both there, the call ends by itself, for both of you · wave afterwards, if you like what it leaves out · no profiles to fill in, no photos: you are a name and a round face in a colour you choose · no feeds, no streaks, no stats · no history: calls are never recorded, and the record that one happened is deleted within a day · no email address or phone number you can block or report anyone, mute a small world, and delete your account, all in the app for adults: 18 and over
