Sundial: one introduction a day, at seven, from any Pool you open

Both ways. Darnell is seeing you at this moment too, with the same reasons in front of him.

Take your time. It stays open until Thursday at 7 pm. He learns your answer only if you both say yes. Keys: Y or → for yes, N or ← for not this one.

In his own words

Union ironworker, 46. I lost my wife four years ago and raised our daughter through the worst of it; she is in college now and told me to do this. I ride my bike on weekends, collect soul records, and I am ready to be somebody’s person again.

I’m proudest of

My daughter. And a bridge on the east side. But mostly my daughter.

Something I’ll always say yes to

A record store on a rainy afternoon. I will flip through every bin.

I’ll know it’s going well when

You tell me something you haven’t told anyone, and I keep it.

Where this comes from

Everything above is read from his own page, each time. Sundial copies no photos (§2.5): the portraits are illustrations of an invented person, drawn from his page.

Next on this dial: tomorrow at 7 pm

Demo clock. It is Monday 28 September, 7:00 pm in Cascadia. In the real app, tomorrow simply arrives.

Talking

Everyone you are writing to, on every dial. Every message also goes by email (§6.1), so a conversation never depends on Sundial.

You

In Sundial: Cascadia since Thursday 13 August.

Your dials

  • A date on, because you are in Sundial’s Pool: both ways from it, and one way from other dating Pools.
  • A conversation partner off.
  • Someone new in town off.
  • A mentor off.
  • A housemate off.
  • A seat at game night off.
  • A climbing partner off.

Each dial you turn on brings one person a day, at 7 pm. There is no second person on the same dial, and nothing to buy for one. A Pool that fits no dial gets one under its own name when you open it.

Ages
28 to 48

Who you’re looking for, and what you’re hoping for, come from your own page. The age range is Sundial’s own setting, ten years either side of your age unless you change it, because a v0.1 page has no place for it.

Your page and your Pools

Your page: docs.example/d/keisha-holloway-date-me

Only the public Pools your page is in, and any you added by address. Sundial cannot see an unlisted or invite-only Pool you belong to unless you give it the address.

Leave Sundial’s Pool

One action. Sundial removes you from its Pool within a minute (§5.3). Your other dials, your page, your other Pools and your people stay with you.
