If you're getting high-fives from Slovenia, that's me trying to not leave people hanging. But I have to go sleep, so if someone from the US could take over, that'd be great!

I see. Maybe there could me a minimalist message picker or something? Like you could hit the high five button and then choose one of five messages to send along with it?

That would keep it simple and without negativity, but still increase the interaction a bit more.

Just a thought!

I made this during the lockdowns. Any chat function would inevitably open the way to negative interactions. A high five can only be positive.

The backend is very minimalistic, and uses an IP geolocation database, geolocation being a kind of affirmation that it is a person you are interacting with.
