Leave the light on.

A porch light says you are open tonight. Couples, singles, avatars and game characters keep theirs on.

Say what you’re open for. Whoever fits comes knocking.

A porch at dusk with a yellow lamp lit and the front door ajar, warm light spilling out.

Four steps up to the door

  1. Turn on your light

    Say who you are, who you would like to meet and what you are open for, one question at a time. It is open by default; a time is optional.

  2. Someone knocks

    Whoever fits knocks with a reason, written to you and not to a crowd. You read it. Nobody swipes.

  3. Everyone says yes

    Every person on both sides answers for themselves. One no is a kind, final not this time. Only then does the door open.

  4. Meet where you like

    Chat and contact appear once the door is open. In person, in VR, in a game or on a call.

Who is home tonight

Couples, singles, a wolf, a robot, a freighter pilot. Every light is on because they said so.

Walk down the street

A couple is one household, not a plus-one

One porch can hold two people, or three. Each has their own login, their own boundaries and their own say. Nobody is shown or committed without their own yes: a couple’s light goes on the street only when both approved it, and a match needs everyone’s yes, on your side and on theirs.

Here is Sam & Alex meeting Mara & Jonas. Four people, four yeses. Sam’s came from a standing permission he gave earlier. Alex had set “my yes goes with Sam’s” for herself, and the panel says so. If any of the four had said no, the door would have stayed shut and nobody would have been told more than “not this time”.

YouYour assistant

One porch, two doors

Everything you can do in the app, your AI assistant can do through its own door: the same actions, the same daily limit. It never browses a feed. It only sees lights that fit you.

Your assistant acts for you alone, with its own address. Three things stay behind your own door:

  • Verifying who you are.
  • Deciding what your assistant may do.
  • Giving a final yes.

Read the protocol

Wherever you like to meet

Over coffee, in a social VR world, inside a game, on a voice call. Each person sets their own places, and a light says which of them it is open to.

  • In person
  • VRChat
  • Resonite
  • ChilloutVR
  • Second Life
  • Games and game worlds
  • Voice or video call

Your porch is dark. It does not have to be.

It takes a minute. A light is open by default, so there is no time to pick.
