Removing the friction from actually getting together. Overlap what you're doing with who you know. See who's visiting your city, who's headed to the same event, and when your paths are about to cross. Whether you're traveling or staying put, avec keeps your whole network in view: the friend running a marathon this weekend, the colleague in town for one night, the person you didn't know was going to the same conference. It's not just knowing when paths cross. It's the tools to actually do something about it. avec moves the burden of connection off the busiest person. You both see the overlap, and whoever has capacity can make the plan first - the friend at home can say "come over" before the friend on the road has to ask. No back and forth. No mental math about who's where. Trips, made easy. Book a flight and avec picks it up from your calendar. Or add a trip you're thinking of taking, people will know you'll be out of town before you've even booked. Your network at a glance. See every city in your network, how many people you know there, and who's passing through right now. Connect your network. Bring in LinkedIn, Strava, and your contacts so the people you actually care about are the ones avec keeps in view. Orbits. Group your contacts so the right people see the right trips: close friends, colleagues, family, or your whole universe. Booking, without the back-and-forth. Open time on your calendar for 1:1s or group hangs, or let friends request time with you on your trip. No scheduling threads. No "does Tuesday work?" Events, together. Every event is hiding who you know. avec adds the network layer, so you walk in already knowing who'll be there. Year in Motion. Every trip you took, every connection you made, all the ground you covered. Share it so your friends know what you've been up to.

Verdict
Product Hunt and avec both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of avec's written reviews are positive against 64% of Product Hunt's. Product Hunt's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 14) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
