## Description

third is the app for meeting people in the real world — at the coffee shop, the park, the bar, wherever you happen to be.                                                                                                                                                                 <br><br>Open the app when you&#39;re out and want to connect. You&#39;ll see who else nearby is open to meeting. Send a wave if someone catches your eye — they&#39;ll get an anonymous nudge that someone nearby is interested. If they wave back, you&#39;ve got something to talk about.<br><br>How it works<br>• Toggle open when you&#39;re somewhere and up for meeting people<br>• Browse a live feed of people nearby<br>• Send a wave — anonymously — to express interest<br>• Match when it&#39;s mutual, and take it from there<br><br>Your privacy comes first<br>• Waves are fully anonymous — recipients never know who sent one<br>• Your exact location is never shown to other users<br>• You control when you&#39;re visible — go offline any time<br><br>third is for<br>• Casual conversation<br>• Making new friends<br>• Maybe something more<br><br>You&#39;re 18+ to use third. Be respectful — real people, real places.
