Four things. No feed.
From opening the app to walking out the door. Four taps, ten seconds each. Then you put the phone away.
01 — OPENSee what's on tonight, within walking distance.
Plans, not posts.
Built for what's outside.
The apps I opened most were the ones I liked least. Feeds, friend counts, performance reviews of my own life. I wanted the opposite — an app you close after thirty seconds because you're already on your way somewhere. Synq does one thing: it helps you find a plan, show up, and meet the people who showed up too. The rest of the night is the point.
“I'm building the app I wanted to open myself — then close, and walk out the door.”
