This post disappears when the evening's over.
Group chats can turn wanting to see people into a chore. PorchLite works like a porch light left on: a small, quiet sign that you're around. It costs nothing to leave on, and it asks nothing of anyone.
Posting takes about as long as texting one friend: a title, a time and a place. Only the people you've approved see the post, and replying takes one tap. When the time passes, the post is gone, along with any sense that you owe someone a reply.
There are no likes, comments, view counts, streaks or ranking algorithm. A quiet feed isn't a sign that something's broken. It means nobody is waiting on you.
Faster than a text
A title, a time preset and a place. If posting took longer than texting one friend, the app would have failed.
One-tap RSVP
I'm in. That's the whole interaction.
Gone when it's over
A post disappears once its moment has passed, so nothing piles up.
