Built a privacy-first social battery tracker (no email, instant friend pairing via link sharing) (socialbattery.space)

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.

Would be nice if your mention of the site was actually a link, although I'll admit I'm just scrolling through "all" and have no idea if that's against the rules in this community (which would seem silly if a self-promoting post was allowed to begin with).

ETA: some explanation, and/or demo of how it actually works in practice would also be helpful so we can decide whether we want to invest the time.
