I was talking to a musician friend of mine about a website I plan on building and he mentioned a hip-hop centered site that made a mix-tape track everyday. The artists on the site paid for a slot on the mix-tape and it was available for anyone to download for free. I think it would be cool to have a few mix-tapes, separated by different genres, maybe once a week. I'd probably even pay to get a mix of all new artists every week.

I'm downloading Corona as I write this and I'll give it my best shot! It might take a little more than a weekend but this might be the push I needed to really get into this game. Thank you!

Hahaha I know and I do but a lot of the time it takes 3 to 5 calls before someone answers and even then it's not a guarantee that they're free. I figured this could be a nice little short cut if it was out there. It seems like not too many others have a problem with this though so it might just be a specific problem for my area. My high school class only had about 110 kids.

I must have worded the question wrong to begin with but the button you were referring to was exactly my line of thinking.

Situation: I'm at home and feel like meeting up with a buddy of mine and am having this problem. I launch the app and click a button that says I'm bored and would like to meet up with one of these people I'm 'following'. This then bring up a list of the followers that are free as well and the SMS option would be available. I could then message them and possibly meet up with them.

This was just an idea I had come up with that could possibly solve this problem I'm having. I figured it would be worth sharing if someone was looking to build something like this. I was hoping somwthing like this existed already though because I believe I would use it a lot. I completely understand there's no magical program that can know you're definitely bored and would like to meet up with a friend hahaha.

You're definitely not wrong here but I'm more looking for a quick way to see who is free and would be willing to meet up and get coffee or come over for a game of pool. The chat would mostly be just to make plans for hanging out in the real world.

Meta answer: I've been a long time reader and love how good the feedback is on most posts.

I'm not very concerned about the chat feature much at all. My problem is sending out "mass texts" and making many phone calls to find someone who is also free. I find myself waiting around a lot for people to respond to me and finding out most people are at work or busy elsewhere. If I could just load up an app on my phone and see that Mike is free for a few hours then I could get in contact with him and make plans.
