Why Mixer exists The problem I realized I have a lot of friends I just never make plans with. Not because I don’t want to — but because: they’re not in a group chat I don’t think to text them or it just feels like effort to reach out And I don’t think I’m the only one. Making plans right now kind of sucks: You only hang out with the same people in the same group chats One person replies in a group chat of 15 You don’t know who to invite You don’t want to invite too many people You wait around for replies Plans die in the chat No one wants to be the one organizing You overthink it and end up doing nothing Real situations this fixes Something spontaneous You want to go to the golf range after work. You’re not going to text 20 people just to find 1–2 who are down. So you either don’t go, or go alone. Now you just post it — whoever’s in joins. Mixing different groups You have friends from different parts of your life that would get along. But they’re not in the same group chat, so it never happens. This lets you bring them together without overthinking it. Group chat guessing You throw something in a group chat. A few people respond, most don’t, and you’re left guessing who’s actually in. Now you can just see. People you don’t think to text There are people you’d hang out with — you just don’t think to text them. So you end up seeing the same few people over and over. The idea Make plans as easily as posting something simple. Post a plan Invite who you want (or keep it open) People join if they’re in You see who’s actually going No back and forth. No guessing. The goal Make it easier to: make plans more often include more people mix different friend groups actually follow through The bigger picture After college, it’s way easier for your social life to shrink without realizing it. This is just a small way to push in the other direction. Hope you try and enjoy.
