Congrats - but isn't this the same as sending a message in a group chat that you're going somewhere?

- poolnoodle 19d agoNo, because in a group chat people feel the pressure to reply.
- Jemaclus 19d agoSort of but not really? As someone else pointed out, there's pressure in group chats to reply. This explicitly avoids that. Also, let's say you want to go to a park for a picnic, and you have 100 friends. Which 100 friends are you going to add to a group chat? That's thinking you have to do, friction to getting the engagement going. You have to start thinking about "if I invite Sue, then I can't invite Dan because he's her ex," and blah blah blah. Group texts are excellent directed communication media. But this is undirected event management. Rather than me inviting 13 specific people, I'm simply broadcasting the destination and time vector. It's a different way of doing things. I'm not surprised at your question -- it's often the first one I get. But I'm explicitly attempting to solve a different problem than group texts solve.
