Sidekick’s Particulars: Finding People Who Get You
Sometimes shared interests aren’t enough. Learn how Sidekick helps people find others who understand their experience — privately and on their own terms. Sidekick’s Particulars span seven categories: Languages, Personality Type, Neurodiversity, Disability, Substance Use, Situation, and Status.
Sidekick’s Kickits: A New Way to Start a Friendship
Making friends as an adult is hard – not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because asking someone to hang out can feel risky. Learn how Sidekick’s signature feature – the Kickit – helps take the anxiety out of the equation. A Kickit is a new kind of invitation, addressed to no one and anyone, like a post on a bulletin board that just says “Let’s go kayaking on Sunday.” It’s an excuse to get together with no fear of rejection.
