Thread vs Mhere

Thread weaves a new social fabric by connecting students, university and community-based volunteers, and collaborators. By radically and permanently reconfiguring the social support structure of all involved, Thread breaks the cycle of crime, poor educational and economic outcomes and replaces it with a new cycle of educational attainment, service and social well-being.

Mhere lets the people who care about you know where you are — and that you're doing just fine. Open the map and see your friends right now. Who's still at home? Who's around the corner? Who just got off work and is heading out? No need to text "where are you?" — just look. ■ Real-Time Location Sharing Your friends' avatars live on the map, showing how fast they're moving and how long they've been somewhere. It feels like you're all in the same city, always within reach. ■ Bump Run into a friend on the street? Bump your phones together to confirm the happy coincidence — and maybe make a new friend while you're at it. ■ Safety Check-In for People Living Alone Living solo is great, until it isn't. If you go 24 hours without any activity, Mhere quietly reaches out to your important contacts. They can let everyone know you're fine (or just napping), or escalate if something seems off. It's a safety net that stays out of your way until you actually need it. ■ Privacy on Your Terms Don't want someone knowing your exact location? Blur it, freeze it, or go completely invisible — on a per-friend basis. Your whereabouts, your rules. ■ Poke No words needed. Just give someone a little poke to say "hey, thinking of you." They'll get it. ■ A Map That's Actually Lovely Avatar pins, little flame effects when friends gather, rainbow trails for people on the move — your friends' lives play out on the map in a way that's just fun to look at.
