Someone starts it.
Filmavond? Luc puts four evenings in the group chat. It takes a minute, and it is the only organising he has to do.
How it works
One evening, start to finish.
GoingDutch does the part between “we should do something” and “see you Friday”. Follow one group, the six friends of Filmavond, from the first message to the next plan.
Friends answer from a link.
The link opens in any browser. Everyone taps the evenings that work. Nobody needs the app to answer, and nobody has to scroll back through a thread.
It’s decided.
When the answers are in, Luc fixes the date and everyone is told at the same moment. The one person who can’t make it is named kindly, not left out.
Tonight, it gets quiet.
On the day, Home turns orange and shows only what tonight needs: where to meet, who has the tickets, who is running late. Everything else can wait until tomorrow.
The morning after.
What did you pay last night? Sanne adds the taxi while it’s fresh, so nobody keeps receipts in their head. (This Home state is coming; today you add costs in the Splitter.)
All square.
Everyone pays their share once. When the last payment lands, the whole group sees it at once, and nobody has to think about the money again.
Same again?
Plan again keeps the group and what worked. The next evening starts where this one ended, without another forty messages.
Why it works this way
Technology that gets people offline, together.
Most apps are built to keep you looking at them. GoingDutch is built to be put away: it counts evenings that happen, not minutes on a screen.
Plans, not a feed
Every screen is about something you are going to do with people you know.
Quiet when it counts
No brand notifications at night, at most one per plan per day, and nothing during the evening itself.
Relief, not rewards
No streaks, badges or leaderboards. The moment it celebrates is the group being square.
Don’t say it again. Plan it.
Make a plan tonight, send one link to the group chat, and see tomorrow who can make Friday.
