  • Good questions! And thanks for sharing your experience here. Much appreciated.

    Here’s how it works:

    1. Offline status: Right now, friends see your last set level indefinitely. No timeout yet, but you’re right that an “offline/last seen X hours ago” indicator would be useful - adding that to the list.

    2. Nickname privacy: Yeah, the username is in the share link by design. The nickname is more for personalization (some people prefer going by a different name with friends) rather than privacy. Per-friend nicknames is an interesting idea though.

    3.Keeping it updated: Fair concern. I’m betting people who actually need this will keep it current. But it is homework to do, for me as well. I’m thinking about the notification option, though I don’t want to be too intrusive in a world of constant popup notifications. The key is finding the right balance.

    Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the flow, super helpful for people deciding whether to try it. I didn’t post it myself as I thought it would spoil the experience of discovering something new and fun.


We talk less and less about how we’re actually feeling, everyone just says “I’m fine” even when they’re not. So I built a tool to make social energy levels visible between friends without needing the conversation.

Tech highlights:

  • No email signup (just username + password)
  • Instant friend pairing via shareable links
  • Real-time status sync
  • Mobile-first PWA design
  • Quick action buttons (e.g., “ask for coffee”)

How it works:
You share your link → they open it and register → you’re automatically friends and can see each other’s battery levels in real time.

Live at socialbattery.space (works best on mobile, but desktop works too)
Built this because emotional state sharing shouldn’t require a vulnerable conversation every time. Would love feedback from the community.
