Wrote a simple app that emails people automatically asking them if they want to hangout. It reads my calendar and randomly decides whether or not we should hang out. The probability that it'll decide to ask gets higher and higher the longer we don't hangout, which it determines by reading my calendar.


Cousin! Do you want to go bowling?


Would you happen to have this script up on Github? Also, do you usually send events as part of the invitation (i.e. concerts, coffee e.t.c)?


Not yet - let me clean it up first and I’ll ping you guys


I like this idea for fostering relationships that I either get anxiety or not sure what to say.

What do you ask them to hang out with? A calendar invite? Or SMS?


Just an email. It was born from a project that died years back as one of my first YC submissions. Sounds like I need to resurrect it and add IM and SMS as a new MVP.


I'm also wondering if you could post that script, that sounds very interesting


I'll either ping you guys or do a ShowHN some time this year
