I think this is a great start. I like the scheduled time to connect, but I want the opposite: a notification that RIGHT NOW I'm free and if folks wanna yak I'm up for it. I sometimes find myself stuck in traffic, or driving way out to an airport, and I'd love to opportunistically fill that time with a great convo, but don't want to spam the world with my availability, or come off as rude (hey, i'll talk to anyone!); maybe sharing this smaller tight-friend community would allow that to not be weird :)

That was how my friend group used to employ Dodgeball, back before Google acquired it and sucked all the utility out. It was really magical, getting a constant stream of ambient, no-pressure invitations to random gatherings of friends.

This is a great idea, and one we'll get to once we have enough of a user base. The critical mass requirement for a synchronous "now" experience is much higher than for an asynchronous one, so stage 1 is to build a user base, so that we can support this in stage 2.
