🎯 Yes, we have an algorithm. Here's what it's for.

The question was never whether there's an algorithm β€” it's what it optimizes for. Instagram optimizes for the next scroll. We optimize for the next time you're in a room with your friends. Attention vs. attendance: the rare algorithm whose success metric is you using the app less. And it's transparent β€” you can always see exactly why something is where it is.

The Problem

"Where are you?" The text you send 20 minutes after it started.

You're standing outside a venue, alone. You texted the group 10 minutes ago. One person said "leaving now." Another is "5 minutes away" β€” they haven't left yet. You don't know if anyone is actually coming. This is the default experience for every event.

😰

The Solo Arrival

You walk in alone. Scan the room. Don't see anyone you know. Stand awkwardly by the bar pretending to check your phone.

πŸ•

The Optimistic ETA

"5 minutes away" is the biggest lie in social coordination. They're still in the shower. You're already there.

πŸ“±

The Text Barrage

"Where are you?" "I'm coming" "Which entrance?" "I can't see you" β€” 12 texts that could've been a glance at a map.

πŸšͺ

The Quiet Bail

One friend never shows. Never texted. You find out the next day. "Oh sorry, something came up." You went alone for nothing.

How it works

1

Objective signals

Popularity and relevance signals β€” Spotify reach, critic ratings, buzz, how many sources confirm it, how soon it is. Every one is out in the open.

2

Rolled into lenses

Signals roll up into plain-language lenses β€” big & famous, critically loved, buzzing now, widely confirmed, happening soon β€” that you can turn up, down, or off.

3

See why it ranked

Every result shows the real signals behind it and how many had data. You reorder objective signals; we never inject hidden ones.

What you get

What The Algorithm gives you.

🎯

Tuned to get you outside

We win when you put your phone down β€” not when you scroll. It's the only feed whose goal is you leaving the house.

πŸ”

Transparent, not hidden

You can always see exactly why something ranks where it does β€” the real signals behind it, in plain language. Nothing secret.

🎚️

Tune it yourself

Don't like our default? Slide the lenses toward what makes a night worth leaving the house for.
