slideby lets you jump into anything on campus. someone drops a slide: friley pregame, study session at parks, food run at 11pm. it shows up for people at your school, they join, and everyone walks over together. real plans, real people. that's it. no left on read, no viewing your story and leaving you disappointed. just real stuff. how it works drop a slide. say what you're doing, where its at, and that's it. people slide in. you see who's coming before you decide to go. walk over together. slideby shows who's on their way and marks you there when you arrive. drop a flick. one photo says you actually showed up. that's what wraps the night. we mesh everything into a fun recap everyone sees at the end of the night. every campus in the world, one slide at a time. everything is scoped to your school. you sign in with your student email and only ever see people from your campus. nobody outside it sees your plans, and the exact spot stays hidden until you're in. keeping it clean report anything, block anyone. blocking runs both ways: their slides leave your feed and yours leave theirs. a real person reviews every report, and there is no tolerance for harassment. you can delete your account and everything in it from the in-app settings with one button. that's it. slideby is completely free. built by iowa state students.
