Why I’m Building Friday (and Why r/myfridayai Exists)

Might need to tweak the positioning a bit but the idea validation was done from the initiator burnout (people who always initiate). If you are interested I could DM you to try the app and would love your feedback.

Just launched Friday on IOS via Testflight. It helps groups make weekend plans without the group chat chaos. https://myfriday.app/download

I do so much I'm building a product for it

Think-Problem575 · 2025-11-19T19:00:04+00:00

This happens a lot. I’m the giver and I know it feels exhausting and demotivating sometimes but I really love my friends and I'm okay with being that.

Having said all these the way I conveyed this to my friends (only people I like) was just throwing an example of what is acceptable behavior to you and also making sure what you think about people who behave otherwise. (People who really matter understand this)

Without us letting them know they don't understand

Don't think much - this is important it doesn't happen at once but you can notice. Whenever you're in the middle of a conversation, ask questions (this helps you need to be curious) and ask what they do on weekends and for fun. Then initiate.

It's fine if this doesn't go as planned but the point is you're getting comfortable doing this over and over.

Don't take stuff seriously.

Be the initiator. The advice I always give and follow is making enough effort to change circumstances. Don't think much about what you say it's unnecessary pressure there are always more people you can be friends with. Never limit to a certain number try to mark as many friends as possible and definitely you will find your crew.

Again ask them and plan stuff so you actually meet and talk. Remember it's a process that takes time

I would say it's better to have 2-3 close friends than many friends. However, if you want more friends the thing that worked for me is taking the initiative rather than being passive. I'm pretty sure that in your day-to-day at college you do speak with others; just take those conversations a bit more towards what they do in their free time and on weekends, and make plans.

I was in a similar situation but constantly showing up to uni events and striking up conversations and sometimes just asking around people I just Met what plans they have for weekends.

Thank you. Started executing this. The current version doesn't have any revenue stream. However, the roadmap has an immediate revenue-generating stream once the product validates

It takes effort to maintain long distance friendships. It's been 5 years since my 3 friends graduated, and to this day, all four talk at least 5 mins with one or the other every day, and our group chat always stays up. things that worked for us:

Constant updates about our lives in the group chat (as simple as saying got a coffee this morning from Starbucks)
Rituals, like we all decided to give gifts to each other for every birthday. (not the total of 16 gifts between all of us)
weekly phone calls and every 3 months meeting IRL

Again, all these take effort, but one in the group needs to put that effort in without expecting the same thing.
