Hello There!
If you are similar to me and my friends, you must have felt problem in organizing get togethers with your friends? Every time I plan an outing, I have to make phone calls inviting friends, and then reminder phone calls on the day of event, and then last minute phone calls asking people ‘where are you bhai? The party has started!’. It is kind of slow and in-efficient.
I thought that there should be better way! What about using Google Calendar? Naah. No Way. The invites to people are not personal and on top of that I don’t have the email Id of many of my friends. I was stuck with making phone calls.
At the end I thought we can create a better way, a calendar using which you can create and send personalized invites, and you need to only have the phone number of your friend, relative or neighbor. So we went on to create it! Here is how an invite to an event looks on Wakerr-
We built the initial version with just the calendar, so that you could keep track of all the events at one place. You can easily see what are the events that you have scheduled at one place.
On feedback that we got from our friends and ‘friends of friends’, we also added chat to it, so that you can ping and talk to a friend before inviting him in some cases. We have attempted to keep all of it very simple till date.
Overall, our attempt is to make something using which people actually can spend time with their friends, even if they don’t have much time to plan, organize and collaborate. Because as a product, we would make all those components very easy.
In the end, here is the quick list of things you can do using Wakerr-
- Create and send beautiful invites to your phone contacts
- See who has accepted the invites and who might be having other plans
- Chat with all the invitees to an event
- Your friends would be reminded of the event, as and when its time is up.
- In addition to all these, you can also chat with a friend, prior to sending an invite to him.
