So many people spend a lot of time trying to maintain a lot of light friendships that they get sidetracked from really meaningful ones.
They'll attend their friends' events to show their face but they're hardly there because they have 3 other events they feel they need to show their face at for 30 minutes each. Thanks so much for your meaningful attendance...

I think it depends on one's personality. I wrote the app because I needed something like this myself. There are many friends that I love to meet but I don't because of poor time management on my side and/or bad memory. The app is meant to help in such cases.
Completely agree. It's an easy trap to fall into because you need time to put these relationships in perspective.
