Hey PH 🎉
I'm Liam, founder of Gabber, an app that let's you call friends without having to coordinate a time.
I find I have some idle time - when walking or in the car - but 15 minutes wasn't enough to message my friends and try and arrange a call. So I created Gabber to solve this.
It works like this:
1. You set a short availability window.
2. Friends see your signal and those who are free can call right away.
3. Call ends when your availability window ends.
No "are you free for a chat now?" or time zones coordination nonsense. And none of that irritating friend who keeps chatting for an hour when you really only had 15 minutes. The call ends when your availability window closes. You can add more minutes if the conversation is really juicy.
The Story Behind Gabber:
I read about this Harvard study that followed over 700 men over more than 80 years (read again - 80 years!!) to understand what makes people happiest. They were from both Harvard students and boys from Boston’s poorest neighborhoods.
They found biggest predictor of long-term happiness and longevity was... close relationships - not money, fame, or even IQ. This is where gabber was born. To help myself and my friends escape from the loneliness epidemic that, let's face it, most of the world is facing.
People use gabber to keep up with friends/family instead of scrolling. If this app helps you call that one friend who never coordinates or allows you to call your mom once more than usual then, wow, that's a huge success.
PS:
I yap a great deal, that's the meaning behind gabber. Now I hope you do too!
