How it works
A day, and what you can do in it
Four things happen, in this order. Each one below is a photograph of the screen that does it.
Every picture on this page is a screenshot of the built app running on the test city it ships with. Nobody in them is a real person, and nothing in them was arranged for the camera.

Your answer 01
The question
One question a day, and the whole city gets the same one. Thirty seconds of voice, or 240 characters.
The limit is the point. Half a minute is long enough to say something nobody else would have said, and short enough that you say it.
-
Today 02
The wall
Then you read a wall of what the city said that day. Your own answer is not on it.
Anyone who has not passed liveness, and anyone either of you has blocked, comes off the list before ranking touches it. Nothing can outrank them.
-
Knocks, at the door 03
The knock
The one thing you can send is a Knock: a reply pinned to one specific answer, in your words or your voice. It arrives whole.
Three a day, back at local midnight, and the same three whether or not you pay. This is the other end of one, where the door is opened or it is not.

Table 04
The table
A conversation can turn into a Table. Six seats. A place and a time.
Some Tables have no public form at all. Where publishing who is meeting, and where, is itself the harm, no card exists for a board or a search result to hold. That is an absent value rather than a filter every new surface has to remember.
Liveness, for everybody
Every account is confirmed to belong to a living adult before a word of it is visible to anybody.
There is no version of the product that skips it, and paying does not change it.
What a payment does not move
The ranking engine is never handed the list of who pays.
A test ranks one city twice, everybody marked a supporter and then nobody, and demands identical output down to the reasons. Knocks stay at three a day for every account.
