initial launch – location-based ephemeral chat

Summary: initial launch provides location-based chats that exist only while users are physically nearby, enabling spontaneous conversations without invites or setup. Chats start locally around places like parks or events, expand as more users join nearby, and disappear once everyone leaves the area. It uses screen-names only, requiring no email or phone number.

What it does

It creates temporary chat rooms tied to a physical location that expand with nearby participants and vanish when the area empties. Users join or start chats automatically based on proximity.

Who it's for

People needing quick, location-specific communication at events, neighborhoods, trails, or cafés without prior coordination.

Why it matters

It eliminates the need for invites or group setup by enabling instant, privacy-focused conversations tied to physical presence.
