Staying close after a move, and meeting people in a new city: an example

Priya is an example: she has just moved to a new city for work. She doesn’t want to drift from the friends she left, and she knows almost nobody where she lives now.

She gives each friend a rhythm: every month for the closest, every 3 months for the rest. As a rhythm passes, the friend’s grape dims, so she notices before months go by. On her iPhone she added grapevinee.com to her Home Screen from Safari, which is how reminders reach her.

She connects with the few people she knows there by sharing her link or QR code. She asks to join a community cluster open to her network; its host approves each request. When her connections or the open clusters she’s in plan something, it shows up in Events, and saying she’s going gives her a calendar file.

Priya asks her colleague Tom for the introduction, with a line about why. her colleague Tom decides first: his friend who runs a climbing group sees the request only after her colleague Tom approves it, and then his friend who runs a climbing group decides. A shared conversation opens only when everyone has said yes, and if someone says no, nobody is told who. Introductions happen between Grapevinee members.

Yes. Create an account, add the people you already know, and connect with a few friends using your link or QR code. The help page answers the rest.
