Today is a big one for us. Let's is officially live on the App Store and Google Play, and we're launching on Product Hunt.
If you have ever wanted to do something and realized you had nobody to do it with, this one is for you.
Why I built it
I built Let's out of a pretty personal frustration. I wanted to be social but had no real outlet for it. I work from home, I'm well out of college, and I'm not part of any clubs, so my only move was striking up conversations with strangers and hoping we had something in common.
And even for the great friendships I did build over the years, being in a new city, the hard part never went away: actually getting together. It was endless back-and-forth texting across a bunch of different people to see who was free on any given night or weekend, and it usually ended with me just staying in because nobody was available.
I waited years for someone to build the thing that fixed this. Eventually I gave up waiting and built it myself.
What makes Let's different
Most apps either drop you into a giant networking event or make you swipe on profiles. Let's is different: you match on the activity, not faces.
Post what you actually want to do (golf, coffee, pickleball, a movie tonight) and people nearby can ask to join. You approve who gets in, so it is never a room of strangers. Hosts are ID verified, and locations stay approximate until you say yes.
The part I'm most excited about: you can also use it privately with your own friends, so it is useful right away, even before there's local adoption in your immediate area. Make subgroups or invite people directly instead of herding everyone into one giant group chat nobody reads.
So it fixes both problems at once: meeting new people, and actually getting your existing friends to show up. This is the app for forming connections IRL.
Come say hi on Product Hunt
If Let's resonates with you, the single most helpful thing you can do today is check us out on Product Hunt, leave a comment, and tell us what you think. Every bit of feedback shapes where this goes next.
Loneliness is a real and honestly scary problem, and I don't think one app fixes it. But the gap between "I want to do something" and "I have people to do it with" feels fixable. That's what we're going after.
