Invite Only

Group chats are where good parties go to die.

Somewhere between the “who's coming?” thread nobody answers, a flyer screenshotted into oblivion, and an RSVP that was really more of a suggestion, we got tired of watching good nights get ruined by bad logistics. Nobody has ever fallen in love with a Google Form. So Himanshu built the thing that should've existed already - an invite that looks like the party will actually be good, sent the way people here actually send things: WhatsApp, not a calendar invite from 2011.

We think the invite sets the tone before the night even starts. First impressions matter, even for a link.

We think your guest list is nobody's business but ours. Kidding - it's nobody's business but yours. We just host it.

We think “I'll try to come” was never a real answer. It's a maybe wearing a coat.

This is early, and it's a small team building in public — mostly one person right now, reading every email himself, occasionally at hours that are more “party o'clock” than “customer support o'clock.” If something's broken, tell us. We'll probably fix it same day. We'll definitely feel bad about it either way.
