I built the first version of Cusp about a year ago. It was a tool to help people host fasts (as in not eating).<p>Quickly I came to the conclusion that ephemeral micro-communities are bigger than just the fasting use-case.<p>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?<p>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.<p>Hope y'all enjoy and let me know what you think.
