short version
Words first. Hearts first. Comments public. Chat optional. Dignity preserved.
Quick answers, no manifesto.
The obvious questions.
Mostly the practical stuff. A little bit of vibe control. Enough detail to know what you are walking into without turning this page into policy theater.
still true
Nobody gets to treat your inbox like a public utility.
comment thread
"okay but are people normal here?"
Normal enough to type first.
Abnormal enough to make it interesting.
heart
A heart means interest. Not ownership. Not access.
location
City-level, not a tiny blinking map pin announcing your exact existence.
The actual questions
The things people ask once this starts sounding a little too appealing.
Clean answers, still in the same tone. Nobody needs a sterile help-center voice for this.
How does chat start?
People heart a post. The original poster decides whether that turns into a private chat. Interest can show up first. Access still has a door on it.
Are there profile photos?
No. Profiles are text-first and posts do most of the work. A sentence has to carry at least some of your personality here.
Can people comment?
Yes. Comments stay public under the post. They can make things flirtier, funnier, or more embarrassing, but they still do not open a private line.
How does location work?
The app can use GPS to improve nearby ordering, but public posts only show a city or area label. The point is proximity, not surveillance.
Useful footnotes
Mostly boundaries. A little etiquette. Very healthy.
The whole design of the app is trying to keep things lower-pressure without making them boring. That means some friction stays on purpose.
Text first
The app asks for a little more personality up front and a little less posing.
Public first
Comments can build chemistry in daylight before anyone earns a private room.
Pace
You can lurk, post, disappear briefly, and come back without acting like it is a crisis.
If that answered enough
Go post something mildly reckless.
Worst case, you lurk a little longer. Best case, somebody annoyingly perfect gets the joke.
draft you almost posted
"i am mostly here to read the room and occasionally be a problem."
small comfort
A little friction is doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting here.
