Story of the drop
At 4:55 PM the waitlist gets the heads-up. Five minutes later the room fills with new matches, prompts, and gentle nudges to send the first message. The story spreads through words, intention, and enough structure to keep momentum.
All-text storytelling, zero screen tours.
We're narrating the product so you can feel the rhythm: 5 PM drops, respectful timers, and guided prompts.
