Lightweight stranger social — encouraging offline connections with other humans
A low-power, small-screen card-style near-field device
think iPod nano 1st gen
Discover other interesting humans (on-device)
1. Radar auto-scans for like-minded devices in the crowd
2. Two devices enter handshake: lights flash, tick-tock sounds
3. Two humans notice each other's devices flashing and say hi
4. Devices tap together—ritual of a completed match
5. Screen shows match-success animation with match score, 3 shared tags, and 1 topic you've both been into lately
6. Start chatting face to face
A: Prepare your personal digital identity (App side)
1. Initialize your digital life on the App: socials/blog/anything that helps AI understand you
2. AI turns your digital footprint into structured tags: MBTI, career, hobbies, recent plans, open questions, etc.
3. App writes desensitized identity tags to the device
4. Flip the physical switch to open (you're open to new friends)
5. Head into the crowd
C: Keep learning about humans you've briefly met (App side)
1. App reads newly matched people from the device, uploads to the cloud, and auto-creates a link
2. You can view each other's cloud profiles and jump to their socials
3. You can also DM online, but daily message caps apply (we prefer offline face-to-face)
4. Define the relationship freely—no pressure; somewhere between stranger and close friend
5. Could be a solo-trip buddy heading the same way, or a companion through exams/admissions/GAP/job hunting
