Location-based chat where conversations only exist while people are physically nearby, meaning you can start or join chats around you (parks, events, neighborhoods, trails, cafés), the chat begins very local, expands automatically if more people nearby join, and then disappears once everyone leaves the area. privacy-wise it’s screen-name only with no email or phone number.

The idea came from how awkward it is to set up chats for temporary things. If you’re at an event, on a hike, or just trying to share info with people nearby, you usually need invites, links, or group setup first . I wanted something that just works because you’re already there. The goal was to make it easy to chat or share info with people around you, without codes, invitations, or planning ahead. If you’re in the same place, you can join the conversation. When you leave, it ends. As I kept working on it, I realized the chats needed to start small to feel useful. Starting local and letting them grow only when more people join helped keep things relevant.
