no swiping. no stale profiles. no wondering if anyone's out there. see someone across the bar? now you can do something about it. if you're out, say so. posts last 3 hours. chats last 24. don't waste it. how it works - post a live selfie when you're out - see who's nearby and around right now - into someone? answer with your own selfie - they're into you too? chat opens. - make something happen before it's gone why it's different - camera-only. taken now, not two years ago - you only show up when you want to - everyone you see is actually near you - the feed is never stale. posts vanish in 3 hours - 24-hour chats. less talking, more meeting - identity verification required. catfish belong in the ocean. nothing happening yet? shimy's in your chats. always up. just be yourself*ie.
