## What is WA?

WA is a slow-connection app for sharing presence — not messages — with up to five close friends.

There's no chat. No likes. No push notifications.
Just a quiet awareness that your old friends are still there.

Features
- Engawa (Japanese veranda): A small space for up to 5 friends
- Auto-sync: Your steps, weather, and mood gently appear on your avatar
- AI Avatars: Generated from a single photo
- No messaging, no notifications, no ads, no tracking

Designed for those tired of social media noise — for people in their 30s and 40s
who want to stay loosely connected to old friends without the pressure of replying.

Privacy first. No GPS. No analytics. No third-party data sharing beyond what's
strictly required for AI avatar generation and weather lookup.
