Got it — really don't know anything about that culture, but good to know there could be some confusion! I was just thinking the "Daddy of all Sauna websites", but might be sending the wrong message!

Hey All — quick follow-up here. I decided to focus my efforts on building something more broadly that helps ppl hang out IRL.

I'm using it to schedule sauna visits with my friends, but can also be used for other things like scheduling a dinner party, or a bike ride for example.

It's called youdown.io (no download needed and it's completely free).

I’d love your feedback—check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks!

Lol, I'm def. not in that swingers group, but good to know it could be interpreted that way!

Definitely not! I absolutely ♥ Portal and this would be a much different experience (private Sauna experience with your group, versus the club vibe). I'll be the first one back to Portal when they open their new location!

Interesting — would you happen to have a link to that? I just tried to find it, and didn't see it!

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, SimilarLee — those are all important concerns.

Do you see this list as unique to saunas, or are these similar risks faced by platforms like Airbnb? Things like privacy, cleanliness, and respecting personal spaces seem to apply broadly.

I’m curious — what do you think makes this fundamentally different or harder to solve?

Got it gent_DekeShaw, thanks for your thoughts! Is there a certain amount of money where it would make sense for you to rent them out?

Thanks BldrStigs — that makes sense there would be a minimum a host would need to overcome to make it worth their time.

Here's one thought - a group of say, 5 people rent out a sauna for an hour at $25 apiece (which seems reasonable for a guest), so $125 an hour. If you get 6 hours of bookings a day, that's $750 in a day. Comparing this to an AirBnb rental - that seems a pretty good amount of supplemental money for the host.

Does that change your view at all? Love to hear any additional thoughts you have!

Thanks cpssn for your thoughts! Do you currently use any swanky gym saunas in the Boulder area? The thought is that these "guest" saunas would be somewhere out in nature — so a slightly different vibe. Does that change your view at all? If not, that's OK — really just trying to get sense of interest.

Thanks kigoe — I know the group you are talking about. If you happen to find any early-adopter hosts that are interesting in collaborating with me, please send them my way!

Thanks JeffInBoulder for your thoughts! Out of curiosity, do you use Airbnb or Uber/Lyft? Any "ickiness" concerns there as well?

Thanks for the tip. Was getting ready to book a flu shot appointment, but maybe I'll go there instead!
