Aora SJSU vs Stoop

Aora is your school, full screen. Open it and you see what your campus is actually doing right now. It's not an endless feed from everywhere. It's the people you go to class with, where your friends are, and the plans forming for tonight. NOW Say what you're down for in one tap: food, the gym, studying, a party. Pick a start and end time, add a place, and choose who sees it and who gets a ping. Friends tap I'm down, and anyone who can see it can ask to come. THE MAP Your campus on one map. See friends who share their location with you, every plan and event pinned where it's happening, and the places your friends want to go. Tap a friend to see where they are, how far away, and the weather there, then get directions in Apple Maps. PLANS Start one in a few taps with a place, a day, a time and a cover. Say you're going and your face lands on it. Friends can comment and invite people, and everyone going gets a ping when it starts. PLACES Save the spots you want to try and see which friends want to go too. Mark the ones you've been, rate them, and add a photo. Any saved place turns into a plan in one tap. POSTS AND BURST Post a photo or video in one shutter. Hold the shutter to shoot a Burst, then swipe through and keep your favorites in Memories. Add any of them to your profile whenever you like. NIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN Host an event in under a minute. Send one link and people RSVP by name, whether or not they have Aora. See which friends are going, run the door from your phone, keep a waitlist, and share one album with everyone who was there. SHARE YOUR LOCATION, YOUR WAY Choose exactly who sees you and for how long. Friends you share with see where you are, your battery, and whether you're on your way. Stop any time. BUMP TO FOLLOW Hold two phones back to back to follow each other instantly. YOUR HOUSE, IN ONE PLACE If you're in a house, it gets its own page with announcements, a calendar, an album, points, dues, contacts and a roster, one tap from Home. MESSAGES Reply to anything and it opens a thread. Send a voice note, or ask a friend for a pic of what they're up to. 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.

Stoop is a neighborhood noticeboard for real plans. Post something you are already doing this week: a coffee before the market gets busy, a slow loop around the park, a show you were going to alone anyway. One to three neighbors can ask to join. You read their message and decide who comes. That is the whole product. There are no profiles to browse and nothing to scroll for its own sake. A plan is a real thing at a real time in a real place, and it either happens or it does not. HOW IT WORKS 1. Post a plan: what you are doing, which day, roughly where, and how many people can come. Up to four total, counting you. 2. Neighbors ask to join with a short message. Not a form, just a message. 3. You accept the ones you want. Then you meet. BUILT SMALL ON PURPOSE Groups cap at four. Four people around a table can actually talk. Twenty cannot. MADE FOR TWO CITIES New York City and Austin at launch, down to the neighborhood. SAFETY Stoop is for adults, 18 and over. Sign in with Apple, Google, or a verified phone number. Phone numbers are never shown to other members. You can block or report anyone from a plan or a conversation, and blocking is immediate and mutual for signed-in accounts. Reports are read by a person within 24 hours. When a plan is confirmed, Stoop offers a one-tap way to send the details to a friend so somebody knows where you are going. Stoop is free.
