pepl vs Aora

pepl is matchmaking for real life. We believe technology should create human connection, not replace it. So pepl stays out of your way: no feeds, no swiping, no endless scrolling. Just people. Here is the idea. You talk, pepl listens. It gets to know you the way a friend would, then introduces you to people worth meeting. Then you put the phone away and go meet them. HOW IT WORKS 1. Say hello Talk to pepl by voice or text. A few real conversations teach it who you are and who you would genuinely connect with. No quizzes, no swiping. 2. See your campus, live The map shows how many people are out right now. Drop an anonymous pin when you are out and join them. Your location stays anonymous and is never shared with other users. 3. Meet your people When pepl finds someone worth meeting, it introduces you both. Chat if you want, then meet in person. That is the whole point.

Aora is your school, full screen. Open it and you are in what your campus is actually doing tonight. Not an endless feed from everywhere. The people you go to class with, the plans forming for later, the parties happening now. PLANS Start one in a few taps: a name, a night, a time, a place, a cover. Say you're going and your face lands on it. Friends can comment and invite people even if they aren't going, and when nothing's coming up, the most popular plans are right there to start from. When a plan starts, everyone going gets a ping: it's on. PULL UP One message to the people you'd actually text. Send it to a few circles at once, or to everyone, and see who's pulling up. STORIES THAT DO NOT HAVE TO DISAPPEAR Post in one shutter, photo or video. Double-tap to like, and see who liked yours. Keep the ones worth keeping: name a highlight and it stays on your profile after the 24 hours are up, and shows up on Home under its tag. ROOMS, NOT A FEED Tags are rooms. A party, a class, a bit that got out of hand. Open one and you are in everything posted to it, newest first, with the people who are already there. NIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN Make an event in under a minute. Send one link and people RSVP by name, whether or not they have Aora. See which of your friends are going. Run the door from your phone with a code that rotates, keep a waitlist, and let the night fill a shared album everybody at it can add to. Hosting a chapter meeting instead? Take a roll. SHARE IT ANYWHERE Any event or plan turns into a full poster for your Instagram Story, with a link so people can say they're coming from there. YOUR HOUSE, IN ONE PLACE If you are in a house, it gets its own: a feed, a calendar, an album, points, dues, contacts and a roster, one tap from Home. Officers can see where everyone stands without a spreadsheet and a group chat. MESSAGES BUILT FOR A NIGHT OUT Reply to a story and it opens a thread. Send a voice note. Turn on vanish mode when it is that kind of conversation. CRUSHES Pick people quietly. Nobody is told unless it goes both ways. --- Aora is campus only. You join with a school email or an invite from someone already in, and you only ever see your own school. Every post can be reported and every account can be blocked, both ways, instantly. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users.
