how small circles works

01
post a receipt
drop a raw, unfiltered rec from somewhere real. a cafe, a track, a jacket, a vibe. it lives in your archive forever. receipts expire from friends' feeds in 48h — urgency is the point.
02
your circle taps in
when someone acts on your rec you're notified. you earn tastemaker points. real-world action, not likes. you become the person who knows.
03
businesses activate crew drops
local spots offer time-limited deals to people whose friends validated them. you earn a kickback, paid via paypal, every time a drop redeems from your chain.
04
the AI remembers
on-device. no cloud. surfaces forgotten recs when you're nearby. "sam mentioned this place 3 months ago. you're 200m away." your archive grows. leaving means losing it.
05
invite carefully
3 invites. expire in 7 days. if they stay active, they inherit a share of your taste score.
