Digital Flare is a quiet, friends-only way to actually see the people you care about. Light a "flare" to let your circles know you're out and about — grabbing a coffee, at the park, hosting at home — and friends who are free can drift by. No pressure, no read receipts, no follower counts. Flares expire on their own, so nothing lingers and there's no feed to perform for. - Light a flare with a place, a vibe, and how long you're around - Choose exactly who sees it — private circles or specific friends - No-pressure RSVPs: friends raise a hand if they might come - A calm, editorial map of where your people are right now - Everything auto-expires — it's about the moment, not a timeline By invitation. Built for real life.

FFOG (Family and Friends of Gamblers) is a national advocacy community for people harmed by gambling addiction. Gambling addiction doesn’t just affect the individual—it devastates families, friendships, workplaces, and futures. Too often, those impacted are ignored or forced into silence. FFOG exists to change that. Founded with support from the Public Health Advocacy Institute (PHAI), FFOG brings families and friends out of the shadows to share stories, connect with others who understand, and take action to demand accountability and a comprehensive public health response to the gambling industry.
