This is Grapevne. One social feed for campus life happening right now. The solution is radically simple. The mechanic is borrowed from dating apps, but the stakes are campus life, not romance. Swipe right if you're going — it adds to your calendar and notifies your mutuals. Swipe left if you're not. See who else is in before you show up. Get a push notification when something posts. Check the map to see where and how far. Message whoever posted for quick answers. Everything expires. Low-pressure. Real-time. No clutter. For the people planning: Post an event, get instant read on who's actually coming. Real RSVPs, accurate headcounts, no chasing people down. The swipe tells you what a group chat never will. For everyone else: Whether it's free food, a last-minute hang, or something you didn't know you needed — you'll know about it as soon as it happens. Your campus. Your people. No one else. Made for iPhone and iPad.
