meet your
busy, busy
friends more often make plans on the spot with nearby friends

this sucks...

when you want to see someone but their calendar is unpredictable for a while when you want to see someone but their calendar is unpredictable for a while

...so I made rdvz.

Here's how it works:

going somewhere cool?
tell rdvz!
going somewhere cool? tell rdvz! we'll invite your friends in the area (and their friends too, if you want). they arrive and you have a grand old time
we'll invite your

I'm Ibiyemi. 23 years old in New York.

I made this app because I don't enjoy scheduling.

In New York, we all live within five miles of each other, and yet there are some people that I only see once a month. Everyone has gaps in their schedule, but it's not so easy to coordinate when they happen unexpectedly.

I tried being the one to advertise the gaps in my schedule, but I didn't have a convenient way to announce it to all of my friends, or to figure out who was likely to engage.

While solving this problem, I noticed that making new friends goes the smoothest when you're connected by an existing friend. Someone to hold responsible if they turn out to be a weirdo. So I added that to rdvz too: you can use it to meet the friends of your friends.

Now you're here, reading this website. You could be running around outside with an old friend, or a new one.
