everyone builds apps for meeting people. this one's for actually seeing them. start with a bucket list: the things you've been meaning to do. friends can see it, say they're up for something, and turn it into a plan. Or create bucket lists with friends. or throw an idea out. "hang friday?" is enough. your people say they're keen, no guilt, no wall of "can't make it". once a few are in, pick a time together. the chat opens when there's a plan, and self-destructs about 10 days after the hangout. no graveyard of dead threads still pinging you two years later. nothing on yet? in London, browse hand-picked things happening this week and turn one into a plan. friends without the app can still reply from a link. moved somewhere new, or just visiting? see which friends are around, and let them introduce you to their people. friends and followers only. no strangers, no endless feed. staunchly anti-enshittification. no selling your data, no guilt notifications, no engagement traps. for the people who show up.
