D.U.C.K.The night

The night starts organized and ends scattered.

Going out is one of the most coordinated things students do, and one of the least supported by software. Three things break, in order, every weekend.

21:41
Pre-game

The group splits.

The coordination layer is a group chat nobody reads. The fallback is four unanswered calls.

23:15
Out

Nobody has the full picture.

Not of the route, the pace, or who's still out. There's no ambient signal that one person is far ahead of everyone else: exactly the signal that matters at 1 a.m.

01:52
Last call

The bars are blind too.

A downtown venue's demand forecast is a manager looking out the window.

What we do about it

One answer for each break.

Each part of the app exists because of one of those three moments. Nothing was added for its own sake.

  1. 21:41The group splits.
    Live Sessions

    Friends you've accepted see roughly where each other are while the app is open: who stayed, who moved on. No group chat required.

    The Map and Safe Mode

    Downtown, live, on one map. And when someone heads home, one tap puts that walk somewhere a friend can see it.
