Hey :)

We were sick and tired of saying goodbye to new friends we met at parties, events, and trips. We would hit it off, maybe grab their phone number, and then fall into the abyss of despair of “let’s grab coffee sometime.” Spoiler alert: that coffee never came.

One day, we grew done with saying goodbye, so instead, we started saying “see you again somewhere somehow.” Yes, it’s a little cheeky, even flirty - but it also represented social optimism to us. It means to us that this was a friendship that was going to grow, invest in, and one we wouldn’t let go fall into the “let’s grab coffee sometime” trap.

We are building swsh to help ensure you see these people again. It’s not just about meeting that person once but actually about how you see them again. In reality, it’s about how we can help you keep in touch so that you end up actually grabbing that coffee sometime. See you somewhere somehow <3

We are looking to hire a React Native engineer to help accelerate the growth of swsh.
