- Seattle-area coworkers seeking offline friendships
- Worth noticing
- The page labels its sample screens as invented and says actual activities are visible only after login.
Field notes
The described flow starts with an alias, interests, and a choice about who can find you; discovery can stay within a company or extend to nearby companies and the Seattle metro. Activity examples include a hike near Issaquah and coffee in downtown Bellevue, but the page distinguishes these ideas from actual events. It says work-email verification is coming soon and that invitation-only access applies during the pilot.
