Highlights, Curated Content, Fabricated Stories, Ai Bot Accounts … What happened to staying connected with our friends? The problem with keeping in touch isn't a lack of social apps "connecting" us, it's timing. As we get older, it gets more difficult to make time for our individual interests and support our friends. We need a better way to get caught up when time allows so that we can be the friends we want to be. Welcome to Koop - Never worry again about schedules not lining up or being an inconvenience on your friends. Post updates to friends on your time and show up once, together. 1. Build your koop 2. Post skoops into a time capsule 3. At the end of a cadence, your friends can read your skoops as long as they've shared one with you 4. Respond to skoops so your friends know you've seen them Easy, right? The truth is, posting frequently is no match for posting thoughtfully.
