Kinnect: the space between us. análises de aplicativos para 14 de janeiro

We understand the challenges of modern connection, being people who like to "Kinnect". We grew frustrated by how hard it is to keep in touch with friends (old and new) or to make new connections through events or community group chats. The challenges arose in the tools we use to communicate—messaging apps. How many unread messages do you have right now? The pressure to reply and excuse, or the overwhelm of big group chats is stifling opportunities for connection. So we built an app without the chat. Where sharing a plan is private, flexible and pressure-free. We call them "spontaneous plans"—and you can only make a plan in the next seven days. Being spontaneous isn't about being flaky and non-committal. It's the opposite. It's about sharing ideas, being open, embracing uncertainty and living in the moment. Note: Plans are not the same as events. Plans are a preference, an idea that is flexible and open to changing. An event requires planning and is typically thought about weeks or months in advance. We save these for clubs and communities... FOR COMMUNITIES A growing theme throughout building Kinnect was the importance that groups and communities play in our lives. From shared interests, goals, and proximity, communities are where we create, connect, learn and belong. We partner with clubs and communities to help them push through the challenges of poor engagement and participation by allowing their members to connect. With the right tools, engagement becomes effortless, participation feels natural, connection is inevitable and belonging follows. We help clubs by turning engaged members into connected contacts and community advocates. We believe in a new kind of marketing model, a private, community-led one. THE KINNECT CULTURE (How we do things) 1) We developed Kinnect with privacy and the real world in mind—please only add people you know in the real world. We give you permission to immediately decline contact requests from people you don't actually know (or want to see in the real world). A contact can see your phone number, this should be enough incentive to stay private. 2) Notifications should be considered. If you receive a notification from an individual or community, treat it with respect as they have considered how and when to share something important with you. If you decide that isn't the case, let them know or remove them on the app. Only community admins can notify their members through updates, so choose your communities wisely and keep them relevant to you. 3) We engage where possible to encourage more opportunities for interaction. This means responding to plans shared with you by your contacts, showing interest (by responding) in community events (whether you can go or not), and if an update is interesting, react or reply. To recap: 1) Keep it private. 2) Be considerate when notifying. 3) Respectfully respond to signal your interest. Thank you for understanding. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK? We’d love to hear from you. Kinnect is evolving with you—let’s make connection easier, together.
