## 📝 Summary
Facetime, but instantaneous with code and it just adds a little bubble in the bottom of your computer.
The goal is a videochat first digital third space, augmented by user generated custom plugins. Intended for coworking and co-experiencing.

## 🤔 Thoughts
- The feature that made this project sing was the inclusion of a Plex plugin, to watch movies with friends over video chat. Immediate discovery of something valuable. While studios would never give the ability for commercial software like this, individuals can build their own plugins or use community ones to discover new formats of connection.
- It seems like people have become more into video chat since 2020 - the need for a gender neutral digital third space is present?
- AI has produced a new solution - deep, direct customizing of software. Building a foundation for people to customize software for each other and making software feel collaboratively lived in.
- Obsidian's route of File over App seems relevant. Could we repurpose that language for a core foundation to build plugin software? Custom plugins for non-technical people - can we rebuild cover
