Description
We believe the best stories happen offline, don’t you?? That’s why we made Ping – to help you hang with friends IRL.
WHO WE ARE
We’re not just a tiny, super-awesome startup – we’re on a mission to combat loneliness and build genuine, in-person friendships. Our app lets you find your friends via location sharing, so you can spend less time planning (or scrolling) and more time hanging.
And just to be clear: we’re definitely not another social media app. We're a location-based social utility app (what a mouthful, how about just a social map).
WHAT WE’RE AGAINST
Big social media platforms – they’re all about those passive, surface-level interactions disguised as "connection" (kinda cringe if u ask me). Plus negative vibes of bullying, exclusion, and those perfect-but-not-really-perfect lives, and it’s a *literal* wonder why we’re glued to our screens, missing out on actual fun IRL. We’re not about that – we’re here to push for real, intentional meetups instead.
HOW WE DO IT
• Location sharing – sure, we need your location, but it’s your privacy, so it’s your call. Only your besties (or whoever you choose) will have access, and you get to decide between two options: exact or close-ish (within a 0.5-mile radius). We love a choice, don’t we?
• Statuses – remember the OG statuses, you know the ones? ;) We’re bringing them back, but better. Share your mood or next move to let your friends know what’s happening. Once your status expires, it’s gone forever – *except we save them just for you to laugh/cringe/smile at.
• Pinging – another throwback for ya that we’re repurposing because, why not? RIP Blackberry pings, and say hello to our quick, fun pings you can send to easily meet up with friends.

Version 0.29.20
