ooba

ooba shows you one person a day.

Not a feed. Not a stack of cards to swipe. One person who lives near you, a few things they have written down, and a way to say hello.

ONE PERSON, EVERY DAY
Every morning ooba suggests someone. You see what they are into, where in the city they are, and what you already share. If it reads well, you write to them. If it does not, tomorrow brings someone else.

TABLES YOU CAN JOIN
In Discover, people open a table: a subject, a time, a place and a few seats. Coffee on Saturday for anyone who reads. Six seats at a dinner about films. You take a seat, or you set a table of your own and invite people to it.

BRING THE PEOPLE YOU ALREADY KNOW
Send a friend a link. They arrive as your friend, and you can make a plan with them the same day. ooba works better with the people already in your life, not instead of them.

PLANS, NOT CHAT THAT GOES NOWHERE
Every conversation here has a plan behind it: a place, a day, a time. You can send one first message to someone you have not met yet.

WHAT OOBA WILL NOT DO
ooba does not score you. There is no streak to keep, no number that drops when you are busy, and no reminder that you have been quiet. Meeting people is hard enough without an app keeping count.
