That seems like the kind of "social app" that might actually work for me. I like the idea of sort of passively declaring "i am doing something, feel free to show up."
I guess the potential failure mode is ... no one ever showing up. I've got a standing slot (during work hours) at my current company where it's just "AI Jam" - just come in, eat lunch, and we'll hack on something, ramble about the news, etc. It's been moderately successful but there are definitely weeks where you just end up in a call with one or two guys with nothing to show.
That's not so bad though - last week we just talked about video games. Still fun.

So anyway - best of luck. Seems like a cool idea!
