Perihelion
More time with the friends you already have
Your subscribers opt in once and choose how loud you can be. You post when you've got something — a Saturday hike, a casual dinner, a half-formed idea. They reply if they want. Saying nothing is the default.
Who this is for
If you're the friend who plans things
You know the dynamic. You do most of the inviting; your friends are happy when they show up, but reaching out feels heavier each time. Perihelion takes the social tax off the ask. Subscribers opt in once, and your invitations reach them the way they signed up to receive them. They reply if they want. No group-text awkwardness. No one-on-one pressure.
How it works
Three small steps
1
Subscribe to people you want to hear from
Someone shares their Perihelion link with you. You opt in to hearing what they post. They approve you, you're in.
2
Post things you're doing
Post an activity at one of three commitment levels: "just an idea," "I'll go if you will," or "I'm going — join me." Each subscriber hears about it the way they signed up for — text, email, or a quiet daily digest. Never a group thread.
3
Go do the thing
People who want to come tap "I'm in" or "Maybe." Anyone who doesn't reply doesn't reply. You close the tab and go meet up.
Why this is different
Not another social network
Bring your own friends
Perihelion isn't for finding new friends from scratch. It's for spending more time with the people you've already met. If you want a friend-finder, this isn't it.
Built to be left
No feed to scroll. No streaks to maintain. No notifications begging you back. The whole point is to make a plan and go do it offline.
Saying no is easy
Three commitment tiers — "just an idea," "I'll go if you will," "I'm going — join me" — let casual hangs travel as casually as the invitation suggests. Declining is the default. Saying yes means yes. Saying nothing is fine.
