Hi everyone! We're Dean and Nick, the founders of The Week (https://week.fyi). We're building a social planner that streamlines the way we organize our social lives.

The Week takes the initial spark of "I want to do this" and transforms it into a plan by allowing others to join in when they're free.

Users can share specific plans and open-ended interests, encouraging friends to join in.

It's about connecting people through shared weeks, not just one-off events – perfect for making new friends in new cities. The progression from a thought to a plan to a shared experience is a key component, with our Purpose Tags helping indicate the nature of your activity, whether it's a casual interest or a specific plan.

We combine the casual sharing of ideas with the concrete scheduling of events, aiming to bridge the gap between saying "let's do this sometime" and actually making it happen. This app helps people looking to expand their social networks, especially after moving to a new city where they might not know many people.

Some exciting new feature in the next release…. 👀

New app in the works 👀

We built Meet to connect you with people who are nearby and interested in activities you'd do anyway.

Ever since the inception of spark calls, we've been focused on fostering spontaneous interactions. We aim to mimic the casual encounter of two individuals bumping into each other on the street and stopping to say hello. Our current app seemed to do a pretty good job at facilitating this, but scheduling calls or arranging times to hang out remained a challenge. How can someone, anticipating a busy week, inform their friends of their limited availability? Conversely, if someone has a free schedule and wants to see who might be up for making plans, should their only option be to text everyone they know? We wanted to explore solutions to these questions.

Feature dump of some improvements that will help you use the product without needing to open the app, help you communicate your intent more clearly, and make it easier to post a custom activity.

An analytics update for our investors and customers.

Gen z loves self expression…even if thats not what the intended use case was…

TikTok and Instagram have already won at getting peoples immediate attention. When people are bored the first thing they do is open their apps. They have created a habit forming routine based on the situation of boredom. So how do we compete with that? We don't.

An analytics update for our investors and customers.

Imagine being gifted an acre of land in your favorite place in the world with the opportunity to build your own neighborhood from the ground up. Now, picture the possibility of sending invitations to your friends and family to come and reside in this newly crafted community with you. You would have the power to decide who lives where. Who would you choose to be your next-door neighbor—your parents or your best friend? And who would occupy the houses down the block or on the next street over? Consider how it would feel to wake up every day in a neighborhood filled with your chosen neighbors.
