I built the first version of Cusp about a year ago. It was a tool to help people host fasts (as in not eating).
Quickly I came to the conclusion that ephemeral micro-communities are bigger than just the fasting use-case.
Cusp is exploring ephemerality in communities. Can we have more meaningful real-time connections when the experience is ephemeral by design? Can we have hyper-granular topics when the experience is ephemeral by design?
I also wanted to explore the thesis that micro-community curators/hosts should be able to get compensated for the value they provide. Thus you can optionally charge people to join groups.
Hope y'all enjoy and let me know what you think.
