Tell someone, and get home
Before you leave you arm a watch: someone close knows where you are going and when you should be back. If you do not confirm your return, they are told. And if you have nobody to tell, the watch still works.
Before you meet anyone
Meeting a stranger takes preparation
This is what meetDo has worked on hardest, and what other apps talk about least.
Public or private place
A private place only shows its address to people who have joined. Until you have, you see the neighbourhood, not the door.
Never a place and a routine together
Text leaving meetDo cannot say both where you are and that you are there every Tuesday: that would be a pattern of life. The product refuses to compose that sentence, even when you ask it to.
What others see of you
One page lists every channel through which someone could observe you — and a button at the bottom cuts them all at once. Nothing in meetDo can see you without appearing there.
Block, quietly
Blocking and reporting are one tap away. The blocked person is not told.
Nothing but the positive
You can recommend someone; you cannot rate them. There is no way, in meetDo, to leave a public negative trace on a person.
What meetDo will never do
No ratings, no leaderboards, no scores
This is not a missing feature: it is a decision, and it is written into the product's code.
Nobody rates you
No stars, no average, no public review of you. After a shared activity there is exactly one question: "would you recommend them?" Yes, or not really.
No ranking between people
No top-ten table, no invitation count next to your name. Where a yes-or-no will do, meetDo never shows a number — because a number on display always ends up being sorted.
No performance stats published
Your distance, your pace and your calories are nobody's business. meetDo exists to find you someone, not to compare you to them.
No streak to lose
No "you are about to lose your 12-day streak". A missed activity is not a failure, and an app has no business making you feel otherwise.
Something is happening three streets away
And someone there is looking for exactly what you are looking for. In the real world.
