Shake Social vs Citylap

shake is the social app for real life. when you meet someone, you shake your phones together. that's it. no usernames, no QR codes, no "what's your @". one shake and you're connected. every shake becomes part of your story: your graph: watch your real-life social network grow. every person you've shaken with, every group that's shaken together, drawn as a living map. your groups cluster, your worlds collide, and you can replay the whole thing growing from your very first shake. quakes: host a night out or make it a recurring thing. invite your connections and scenes, collect RSVPs, and chat with your guests. recurring dates share one chat. friends can RSVP in their browser without downloading shake. subscribe in Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, then shake at the event to see who actually connected. scenes — shake with the same people enough times and shake works out who your crews are, and names them. nobody invites you into a scene and nobody can invite anyone else in — you shake your way in, and if you drift away from a crew you drift out of it. each one gets its own page, its own chat room, and a map of how it's actually connected. not in one yet? the tab shows your whole graph until your first scene forms. achievements: over 250 badges, most of them secret. you find them by seeing them on other people's profiles… or by earning them yourself. the achievements tab shows the ones you're closest to, the ones you can only earn right now (shake at exactly 11:11), and one featured badge each week whose criteria we reveal. streaks: shake with the same person every day and keep it alive. lose it and, well, there might be a badge for that too. ranks: weekly and all-time leaderboards with your friends or everyone: connections, shakes, streaks, recruits, badges, biggest group shakes. summons: drop a pin and summon your people to you, right now. whoever shows up and shakes made it real. shake works at parties, shows, meetups, weddings, hackathons, first dates, chance encounters — anywhere people actually meet. if your phone is in your hand and someone's in front of you, you're one shake away. shake — because you were there.
