The Tinkering Corner
Prosper Labs
The tech side of the store — small, useful ideas we're building because we wanted them to exist. Some are live. Some are still on the workbench.

Friendly Reminder
You already want to text your friends back. You're just busy, a little scattered, and bad at remembering. We'll remind you, gently, with jokes.
Get early access →Free while we're building it. No spam, just the one text you asked for.
The Whole Idea
How It Works
Add your people
The old roommate, the college friend, whoever's been sitting unanswered in your messages.
Set the rhythm
Weekly, monthly, whatever actually matches how often you'd text them if your brain worked that way.
Get the nudge
A text shows up right when you need it. You laugh, you send the meme, you remember why you're friends.

"It's been a minute since you and Jamie caught up. You still owe them a story about that thing. Today's a good day for it." 😂
"47 unread in the group chat this week. Nobody's mad. Just saying."
"You've said 'we should catch up' four times this month. They'd probably pick up right now."
Tap a name above — this is a real preview of the kind of text you'd get.
Fair Questions
Before You Ask
Is this actually live yet?
Not quite — we're building the real text-sending part right now. Get on the list and we'll text you the day it goes live. First ones on the list get first access.
Who's behind this?
Same three of us who run Prosper General Store. Prosper Labs is where we tinker on ideas that don't fit in an aisle — this is the first one we've liked enough to build for real.
Is it free?
Free while we're building it. If it turns into something bigger later, the early list gets first dibs and first pricing — we'll never surprise you.
What if I don't want reminders about someone anymore?
Pause or drop anyone, anytime, in one tap. This is supposed to feel good, not like a chore list. No hard feelings, no questions asked.

Wazzup
Helps you make friends by doing the thing you actually want to do — hoop, hike, lose at trivia — and drops you into it. No profiles to maintain, no small talk before the activity does the talking.
Get early access →Show up once, see if it sticks. That's the whole pitch.
The Whole Idea
How It Works
Pick a thing
Basketball, hiking, poker, darts — whatever you're actually into, not a personality quiz.
Show up
Join a session near you with a few other guys. One tap in, no back-and-forth first.
Make it a thing
Good group? Lock it in as a standing crew. Same guys, same day, every week.

Poker Night, Low Stakes
Ten-dollar buy-in, somebody's garage, beer's on the host.
Tuesday Night Hoops
